Hi all, Just putting my ST1100 back together and can't see where the pipes from the breather at the rear of the right hand cylinders go. Has any one got a picture or a diagram that shows where they go to. Took photos of everything else but seemed to have missed this bit out.
Cheers

I, for one, have no idea what pipes/breather you mean. Possibly a pic of what you are talking about would help here.

Assume you have an early model ST1100 based on the picture of the external crankcase breather chamber (1991 only USA model year). If this actually came off your ST, the smaller tube connects to the nipple on the bottom right side of the air cleaner housing. The other to the lower right side of the engine. The chamber itself mounts just above the right side engine/tip-over bar. Hope this helps.

Cheers for the help, was the pipe to the underneath of the airbox that couldn't see where it went. All on now just need to charge the battery and should be back on the road before the end of the week.
Thanks again Ian

Glad to help, Ian. Is your ST black or one of the gorgeous Sparkling Silver Metallic (SSMST) beauties?

BTW, on this side of the big pond we've had a few STriders mistakenly connect the crankcase breather hose to the carbs float bowls drain manifold, and then wonder why oil was spewing past the valve cover gaskets. =:-0

LOL! Not good though... ;-)
And does condensation and recirculation of oil fumes really provide such an impact on emissions?
