is this a hose air breather?

There is one bike!
Kawasaki zx636
If you wheelie those bastids much past 45°...oil comes pouring out...ask me how I found that out, lol
Doing an 11 o'clock for about a quarter mile on my friend's bike, with him and several others watching, it was almost vertical, and I was just cruising about 40-50mph, about a hundred feet before I passed them, I went up in smoke, literally, lmao, I turned and saw that the bike and I were engulfed, like somebody hosed off Ghost Rider, lol.
Me, not to be deturred, gave it the old "F it", if I'm buying a motor I'm getting my money's worth, and preceded on another quarter mile(stunt spot has a half mile staight, and smoke hit just before midway, I wondered what they were pointing at before I saw and smelled the burning oil, lol)
I turned and rode the bike back to find it fine, minus oil all over the back tire and exhaust(which caused the smoke).
The site glass had plenty in it too.
Long story short, if you tip them back, they puke oil out through their p.a.i.r
I messaged Tony Carbaholl and he told me about those bikes needing catch cans, as he had stunted them, and new guys that had them.
Some good laughs, a good burnout to get the oil off, and all was well!

Like the SV650. If you wheelie those too high for too long you'll starve the front cylinder of oil and lock up the engine. That's weird about the 636 though. You see a lot of stunt riders use those as stunt show bikes. They must've figured out how to keep the oil in the engine.

Nope, all the 636's are using catch cans.
And yes, sv650's are bad for wheelies and will starve the front cylinder of oil, but not from leaking, but the oil pump can't push the oil there with the engjne tilted back.
