Outer primary vent

So is that something they did in the later models? Or is that something someone just realized would help the problem? And I have looked on my 09 and don't see a vent on the inner primary cover, should it be there on an 09?
It was a problem they (BDM) addressed in 05' because of the oil being pushed into some of the starters. Yours should have it in Cdoggy.

The 1st pic shows you where I'm at and the 2nd pic shows the vent, its the hex thing with the mesh on it.

For real guys? You need to get to know your bikes a little better. This vent needs to be cleaned with each oil change, along with your tappet screen. #66
That's what we here for, now I've been trying to find that little sucker half the morning.
I have a vent tube coming off the top of the transmission.

Yep, I got it! So what about the oil relief in the starter? Is that something that was in the newer bikes?
Yes and what I don't know is if all the inner primaries in 05 and 06 had the drain though. So if you cut the starter drain without this hole on your inner primary you did more harm than good.

Shit some of the wrongly modified starters are still being sold as new ones, my original starter did not have the oil relief in it, but the problems started after I noticed a busted starter nose from my clutch hub nut coming lose and chewing up the starter ring gear. The new starter I bought had the relief cut too deep and filled with oil and then my starter nightmares started. Its finally straightened out:old2:
