05 XB12R Missing a vacuum hose on right side of the throttle body?

 

[wolfo68]

there's a little black cap that goes on it, I've seen a bunch that just don't put anything back on it after it breaks

 

[anrkizm95]

its a port for the emissions just cap it off

You guys are the BOMB!!!

Are you two pretty in tune with the pre 08's? I think I am quite up to speed on on my 09 but the more I look at this 05 the more I feel lost.

I changed the engine oil in in preparation to get her back on the road. I found a fair amount of small shavings, nothing big. Tho it does make me a little nervous as I have never started her. Then a damn dead battery stopped me in my tracks.

ohhh man!!! u lost that hose too. i lost mine & it made the "flux-capacitor" run backwards. as soon as i hit 88mph i was 10 years old again and only 110lbs soakin wet.

 

[wolfo68]

lol, I'd say I'm pretty in tune with the pre-08's

The PM's might be headed in your direction wolfo68!

Heck while I am at it, on my 09 I have the one fuel vapor hose running down to my swing arm. On this 05 I have the one for the fuel vapor hose and one (much larger one 3/8in?) that appears to be coming from the right side of the crank case.

and one (much larger one 3/8in?) that appears to be coming from the right side of the crank case.

breather reroute or trans vent

 

[wolfo68]

that crank case one is on all of them, so is the fuel vapor hose

 

[jakestolar]

breather reroute or trans vent

It isn't the breather re-route. I had the air box off, I am doing that tomorrow. I am guessing trans vent.

that crank case one is on all of them

Yeah, the only reason it came to my attention was that on my 09 it doesn't come out to the same place.

I'm glad our members are so freakin Buell savvy!

 

[jakestolar]

Awesome isn't it!

 

[wolfo68]

well, I've taken things apart that I don't wish for anyone to have to take apart lol

 

[Pegasus]

Sorry to divert from your thread, but is the breather reroute REALLY that good?

Sorry to divert from your thread, but is the breather reroute REALLY that good?

some say yes and some no.imo no

 

[wolfo68]

I didn't notice a difference, but I don't have to remove the hoses when I take off the bottom plate anymore

 

[jakestolar]

I take the two hoses from the PCV valves throw a tee in it and run it down to the exhaust, no filter, no catch can, no need

 

[wolfo68]

you want a filter and at least a plug if you don't use a catch can

you don't want to chance getting debris in your engine

 

[jakestolar]

The PVC is a vent not a intake. Also once you get a bit of oily residue in the hose nothing is going to make its way up that track
