Abstract
A breather for a motorcycle engine separates and traps oil droplets entrained with crankcase gases. The breather has a container with a removable lid, an inlet for crankcase gases and entrained oil droplets extending through the lid into the container, filter media within the container to trap entrained oil droplets in the crankcase gases in the container, and outlet ports in the lid allowing gases to escape from within the container.
