Crankcase breather

[Anonymous]

Ok, I have pod filters, now what do I do about the smoke that keeps pouring out of the crankcase breather hose? :twisted:

Typically that would be blowby. It means your rings are on the way south. I guess it all depends on how much smoke you are talking about.

Make some compression tests.

Places like K&N make a breather filter that will fit on the hose

any automotive crankcase filter that will fit on the hose will work just fine.

Wouldn't putting on just a filter cause a oily mess? How about a catch tank?

there should only be the occasional wisp of oily vapor coming from the breather...if you need a catch tank it's time to do the rings and hone cylinders

Thirded...there should only be the faintest ghost of fog coming out of the breather. I have my hose and filter routed all the way to the rear of the bike. It makes my stoplight look creepy.

Yeah, its not very much, so I dont think I have a problem with the rings because the bike runs like a bat outta hell. I Just can smell it every now and then, but I guess that's due to it being right under me. I think I am going to go with Detman's idea of running a hose so that its not under me any more. :twisted:

That's what I'm running, and I don't even notice any smoke.
