Excuse my ignorance, but why would you not use a standard breather plug?

I dont disagree, never had a problem.... Just saw the tube type at 25£ and thought ive seen them fittings, so found them....
To be honest ill not use it, i think they look crap, with that tube sticking up!!

Sorry to hear about your problem. Thrift speed like many of todays "suppliers" are only a platform and carry no responsibility for the direct supply of parts... The contract lies between the actual supplier and purchaser....

Weve all heard that one...... Mine was with Booking.CON recently..

Ebay them selves have done a refund,
lesson learnt so will be sticking to innocentis original breather,,,,,in hindsight ive had problems with just about everything on my scooters except the breather.........so its a case of Leave Well Alone
