It will Not be a bung and from your non-close up shot, all parts seem to be in place.

Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Agreed but will confirm with the CD

Thanks again chaps.

I guess it could simply relieve crank case oil pressure/allow air flow. I can't see how, if the bike were to be laid on its side, oil wouldn't flood the clutch housing. However, I've never ridden any bike that hard and like to pick them up quickly if they find themselves on their sides!

There's another 'hole' in the crankcase wall (this time an oblong one) below the gear selector shaft. It's clearly visible in the second photo below. I guess this would allow any excess oil from my above assumption to drain back into the sump.

Cheers,

D.

Trigger:
Yep, second pic is a oil way.
