my bike keeps pushing the gasket out by the end of the cams. must be building up pressure. any ideas why? is there a vent i need to check?

It could be swollen with age / chemicals. There is a crankcase breather on the top of the transmission area behind the carbs; this should be plumbed to the airbox.

It also could be that somebody tightened the cover's bolts too tight and squished the gasket. The cover bolts don't need to be very tight.

idiot owner before me had the breather vent tube pluged off with a bolt.........who would of figured!! thanks for help and ideas guys
