GT550L engine questions

There is a brass nipple between the transmission fill cap and the oil pump (red arrow).

What is supposed to go on there?

I don't remember taking anything off when I took the bike apart.

I'm guessing maybe a breather hose as the trans case is closed?

That's the trans breather. Nothing goes on it. It will be covered by the oil pump cover.

Ah. That would explain why I don't remember taking anything off it then.

Whew! I thought maybe Oldtimer's Disease was kicking in... :shock: :D

Thanks!

Could be. This just isn't proof of it. ;)
