For those of you with a crankcase breather filter - do you have the issue of oil vapor condensing on the pleats and getting all kinds of sand stuck to it? I started wrapping mine with a piece of rag and a rubber band, any better ideas out there?

Right now mine sits under the tank cover, and gets a little oil film there too, where do you guys have yours?

There is a mount for another hose barb opposite the carb breather that tees into the intake boot from airbox to carb - anybody have their crankcase breather connected here? I've thought about it - burning the oil vapor intead of soaking it up - but I'm worried about whether or not that would be too much vacuum and pull out too much oil vapor.

 

I have mine in the air box. I made a round plate to fill in the left hole in the air box, fed the breather line thru. I'm thinking of getting a outerware to cover it and keep some of the sand off.

 

I did the same as hinglbyds with my Baja. The 760 is a different story I used a
oil collector with a Spyke Krank vent
So far the system works,as long as I drain the collector once and awhile

Man does mine make a mess! Majorecho has a similar setup to Jeffs but the collector he uses isn't nearly as expensive. I saw it this past weekend and I will be doing the same.

 

The factory has the crankcase vent tube jammed into the left snorkel, causing an air flow obstruction. I run with no lid, snorkels removed, and a pleated filter on the crankcase vent.

Would it be bad to install a hose barb on the intake boot and put the vent hose here, instead of having a filter? Its the way it was from the factory - basically - and its how a lot of other bikes are too. I'm just worried about too much vacuum sucking too much from the crankcase. What do you all think? Its either this or just putting the filter in the air box. I like Jeff's collector, but a bit pricy right now...
Vegas - give me details of your project - sources, etc. Thanks!

 

Hightower, contact Majorecho, he'll give you the details. I may not get around to messing with it for awhile since it's basiclly getting too hot to ride here and I don't have any trips to cooler climates planned yet.

Here's something I found - its just too big - need to find the same thing, only smaller.

 

umm, Am I the only one kinda lost? What is this crankcase thing, and does it come stock? Do i need one?

 

Some high hp DS650 have an over pressure problem in the crankcase and it will force oil out of the vent tube.

 

Hightower here is the part that Majorecho is using. He's still looking for something better but I figured his bike was a lot cleaner than mine after riding so what's $10.

It's a power brake filter for GM/Chrysler

I'm sure they have an OEM one but the one I got is a Help product, part #80195.
