Default Oil in Da Air Box!!

Most people have flipped a four stroke before. I know that some people get oil in their air box and end up having to clean that out...Takes me 15 minutes to totally refresh the air box because of experience doing it. Is there any feasible way to re route the oil flow away from my air box... perharps through a tube down to the swing arm where i am not quite as concerned with having to sponge out and remove/replace that god foresaken drain plug everytime?

NO!

PCV=positive crankcase ventilation. The hose going to air box from the crankcase relieves the pressure in crankcase to help seal the rings and lower oil consumption.
Maybe a one way air check valve could be placed in vent line.

I'm definately looking into that. But it does give me a good excuse to change the oil every few weeks.

if u empty all your oil out of the quad it should eliminate that problem but it may cause some other ones [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Try purchasing one of those stickers that says "Rubber side down" and stick it on the handlbars as a reminder. Then you prob. won't have to worry so much about cleaning out oil [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
