When I bought the bike it came with a strange oil cap that I'm pretty certain was never intended for the bike. I had a look around and found a company that sells aftermarket metal oil caps. It arrived in the post today so after I got home from work I set to and fitted it.
Oil cap supplied with an O ring.

The rubber pipe was acting as a breather although it had a bolt in the top of it.
Oil cap removed and ready to be slung in the FZR parts draw.
New oil cap all fitted!
The next couple of jobs will take place over the winter. Since buying the bike I've found that the EXUP valve needs attention. Either the cables that operate the valve are loose or the bushing inside the exhaust need replacing. Here is an exploded view of the exhaust,
Part no.11 will more than likely be the culprit. Whilst the exhaust is off over winter I'll give it a paint and general spruce up. Secondly, when I service the bike I'll whip the clutch out as I want to replace the clutch springs for uprated EBC springs. At £10 for a set from Wemoto I can't complain about the cost. Watch this space for more updates.
