Jay,

I've recently had cause to have the tech at my Triuymph dealer show me these
bits :(
Have a look in the airbox and if there's loads of oil then the centrifugal
breather thingimy is probably kaput. (Hey, I'm a programmer, not a mechanic)

He showed me the older moulded plastic type from a tiger which was badly worn
and the new turned metal type which should have tighter manufacturing
tolerances.

If your oil is ending up in your airbox then this part has to be replaced, or so
I'm told.
