Re-route hoses

[nkaperry]

So I found a catch can that I liked and made the addition to my original crankcase breather mod.

I used an old wrench for the bracket. Here it is before being bent to fit.

Here it is installed to fit

The bottom of the original catch can had a pressure release that wasn't sealed 100%. I broke that off and JB Welded a penny at the bottom of the catch can.

As you can tell some ingenuity was used to make this happen. Take your time and put some thought into your mods to make them original!

AMAZING DIFFERENCE from 0-3k RPM and no backfire at all.

I tucked mine up and almost totally hidden. Need to add a catch can or block the hose before a logn ride, anyone know wtf I can use to block the hose other than a catch can??

 

[aptbldr]

or block the hose before a logn ride,

Off-road riding = logn ride?

Not sure if ive seen one of these for a catch can.

Just put it on, havnt figured out what to use as a removable plug for the bottom.

Finished it, Hopefully it doesn't fall off. A little heavy!

nkaperry, did you get the water separator from Harbor Freight Tools? I did this last month, and my whole set up looks almost identical to yours. Use some aluminum flat stock for the mounting bracket. couple bends, couple holes, little paint, and that's it! i painted the clear cup flat black, with a 0.5" wide clear strip remaining so I can see the level, but it also hides better. oh, and if you take apart the valve on the bottom, put the spring on the outside, and put the clip on, it seals up nice! lovin' it!

GW04- I got the water separator from the local Home Depot. I believe almost any tool shop should have it in the tool/compressor section. I need to do something with the catch can because it has gotten all ugly, off colored and nasty looking...hard to tell where the level is but i just make sure to check it regularly.

Check engine light on now?? 2009 XB12Scg

Just did a Breather re-route and the ASB airbox lid mod. The muffler actuator had already been dis-connected because the PO had installed a Jardine. Now the airbox lid has been eliminated (along with the actuator), the actuator has been unplugged. Is this causing the check engine light? If so, is the a resistor plug to be used like on the 1125R denoid??

This mod is WELL WORTH the cost!! Much easier than it sounds too. Much cleaner ride under 3000rpms

I did it on mine and it didn't change a thing.

Got a question on this Mod. When you T the two breather hoses from the cylinders wont it push air from one cylinder to the other?
