I don't know what you are calling Puke Tubes?

The engine oil breather is the only vent from the engine, and it goes from the head to the Air cleaner under the frame top tube.  It needs to be routed without and sags where oil could collect.

The neutral sensor should be cleaned, and silicone gasket maker can be placed on the back side when it is installed, the front should not have any sealer and butt up against the new gasket (you could put a small amount of sealer on the front if you want to be sure).  You might also place some sealer on the wire just to be sure that it seals....your rubber plug may be getting old and brittle after 27 years.

If you run your bike on the interstate at 70mph plus.....you will use oil...not sure if it goes past the rings or out the breather - but it is a kown fact on this forum.

Yep,, everybody kows it.. If youre going far & fast, carry some oil. Check it often. I noticed my oil use go up as the oil approached 1,500 to 2,000 miles.
Keep an eye on it in a paranoid way for a few thousand miles & youll learn how it acts after an oil change & at speed & around town & youll learn when you really need to pay attention to it,,Id much rather check it & not need it than not check it & need it.,.
