Greg,

Unsure of exactly what happened aside from the oil being rapidly discharged
from the crankcase and onto the pavement.
It didn't help that the sun was bright, making it very difficult to see the
dash (an odd thing in Wisconsin I.E. the sun, not the dash).
The ball valve must have "stuck" and may or may not have been faulty.
I actually did not install it either, but suffered the consequences.....
The 'certified' mechanic (old school & good w/British bikes) may not have
removed the old breather parts. This was ~15+ years ago so I'm pleading the
fifth.
It was the last time I frequented his shop for obvious reasons....
