quick question...

[LUXY DJ]

right, the crankcase breather tube goes from the crankcase to the rear of the airbox... & if i leave it off when running, it gives out a white-ish smoke(normal i know) & also gonna make warm air go in the box aswell... my question tho, is this plugged into the back of the airbox just to meet emission laws? cause im sure this is why my airbox gets oil inside cause where the tube connects is where theres always oil running down from, SOOOOOO can this be left off? as it can still breath(probs better infact) & also doesnt chuck all its shit into my airbox....

anyone confirm this tho?

also it was doing this before i was wheeling

The oil mist goes in to the air box to automaticaly oil the air filter ( I assume its a foam one ?)
Oil on the foam filter element helps to stop the fine particals of road dust ect getting through.

na, its a K&N filter, so not just a peice of foam + the oil is coming from the crankcase which is dirty oil & plus it's warm air which is also not good so it deffo aint for that

+ i oil it with special K&N filter oil

Sounds like it's breathing heavy to me if it's spitting oil back through the pipe.

I thought they put crank breathers in the bottom of the airbox to save leaving them trailing and thus spreading oil all over your back tyre but im sure someone will be along to tell me im wrong

cheers

iv been reading up on all this since posting via google, & its either a filter on the end of the breather hose(which you said & probs what i'll go for) or a whole kit that goes from the oil filling hole to join up with the breather hose meaning it all circulates round the engine & never goes into the air filter... leaving the air filter without getting any dirty,oily,contaminated, & slightly warm air on to/in to it

You could always direct the breather pipe at the chain and avoid having to get a scottoiler.
