Is there any way to stop a VN1500 (1995) from leaking oil out of the front breather tube?

it's what we call blow by, you need a basic overhaul... cyliner hone + inspection, then new piston and rings depedning on the wear..Is there any way to stop a VN1500 (1995) from leaking oil out of the front breather tube?
yes it sounds like crankcase pressure IE rings crack piston something causing that pressureIs there any way to stop a VN1500 (1995) from leaking oil out of the front breather tube?
no
It is usually caused by blow-by (which causes crankcase pressure), probably just needs ringed. A couple more (less frequent) possibilities are the crankcase ventilation not working (either stopped up, disconnected or needing filter replaced), or being over-filled with oil.
