THC,
I actually run the breather through a catch can and then to the air filter backplate. I don't like the oil vapors getting on the bottom of my bike.

I love my 111 too, btw.

I get that and if you look a look back I was asking the other guy why he vented his case breather to his air cleaner.
No matter what you have there is no real reason to vent it to the carb...that was my point.

I have a 5" line running straight down from the case fitting. When I first start my 85 after a long winter break I get about a cup of oil on my driveway (I always forget to place a pan there), but normally just a little oil mist on startup. I'll live with it until it gets worse.

I bet if you actually catch it, and measure it... it ain't a Cup... I hope...
