I new to bikes   so i dont claim to be an expert     any motor's crankcase needs to breath  ,you all know that,  as far as sucking dust or debris off the road,the breather housing on these bikes has a foam element to fiter any air that it might "suck in"    just cleaned mine tonight for the first time(sitting since 2004) and my foam was little more than crumbs      just replaced it with some foam i jerked out of the crack on an old truck seat     the breather really needs to be taken apart and cleaned   not just drained if bike has been sitting     i sure would not want my bike sucking in what i found in mine      spring loaded doo-dad inside keeps the foam filter in place     not a bad job
