I know about the pipe and air filter but what are Tank Breathers ?? - what do they look like and what are they used for ?
With respect to silicone.....is there a specific type i should use....or is it all the same ? In addition....is it possible for the silicone to get past the plug and end up in the engine ? - will this burn away or would it require the engine to be stripped down ?
Appreciate the help ! - One day I hope to be a guru too
Cheers

There will be a thin black plastic tube coming from your tank. It allows the tank to breath as it is drained so not to create a vacuum. The same goes for your carb.
Once the plug is screwed in and torqued down, it's an airtight and watertight seal. No water will get into the engine.
Silcone around the cap to stop water getting up it and potentially shorting it which can damage the CDI, coil and also stop your bike in it's tracks (halfway across a river lol).
Silicone sealant is pretty generic.
