Re-route hoses

[Roccodart440]

I just finished mine today. I also opened up the uppper airbox cover. It made a big difference in the smoothness, throttle response and power.

so i was just looking at the manual an i think that i need to check the routing of my exhaust cable relay.the manual says that if its not routed behind the frame plug it will hinder proper performance.

 

[Roccodart440]

I can't believe the difference in power smoothness ande reponsivness.

Monster- go for about a 30min ride, preferrably expressway if possible ( easier to keep a constant RPM for an extended time ) Your ECM needs to re-learn that its not getting exhaust gasses. [up]

 

[MONSTER]

thanks mrdozer. any target range to keep or is it just a constant rpm?

 

[oxygen151]

3200-3500 RPM range is where the ECM will re-learn.

 

[Roccodart440]

I just drove mine. It seemed fine. I have the race ECU

 

[mrdozer2you]

any target range to keep or is it just a constant rpm?

I just go for a constant RPM/speed

3200-3500 RPM range is where the ECM will re-learn.

Tried that too...didnt seem to work ( not that im saying its wrong ) just didnt work for me and kinda hard to do. Expressway is much easier, and works for me everytime.

 

[MONSTER]

yeah i tried the highway aproach but i live in houston and there is no such thing as open road or constant speeds here. just gonna hook her up to my buddy's ECM spy and then use his programs to remap.

I haven't noticed any of the oily mess others have described in their airboxes nor the popping etc. at low rpms... Is this mod only beneficial for those with upgraded ECM's or perhaps newer models?

...cause I'm dying to play with my bike and this is seems cheap and easy.

I finally did this today! Immediate difference in how smooth it is at low RPMs. Completely worth the $20 and 30 mins I spent working on it!!

I've never noticed any oily residue in the airbox, but did it anyway mostly to help out the stuttering and popping, though it wasn't happening to me very often compared to what others have said on here.

And I routed my hose forward down beside the oil cooler, put the breather right behind it, and a bare drain hose behind the chin spoiler and exits right next to the kickstand bracket.

 

[Poohspot18]

That's Exactly what I did. Out the front, down by the Oil Cooler, in behind the Chin and tucked the end right under the Kickstand Hanger. if it drips it drips right on the Ground and my Hose and Filter are a Nifty Blue!

 

[Odin]

I went with the Red breather filter, since it matches the color scheme, just black rubber hose though..

Does anyone knows if I can just use a inline gas filter with a shut-off valve in the bottom that can be drained from time to time or does the line needs a way breath in and out because if I do it this way it will no be possible to inhale. It's my understanding that this will only drain but perhaps someone with more knowledge than me can shed some light.

 

[Stevenc150]

Some say it breathes in AND out, some say only In, some say only Out. I planned for all and ran my breather filter off the main drain line with a "T" connector, and left my drain line end just hanging. No probs so far.

 

[Roccodart440]

IMO it only breathes out.

 

[nitto12ss]

Has anybody done this mod on a CA speck bike, and if so is there any additional alterations that need to be done? My only real concern is that things might routed differently because of the charcoal canister.
Thanks

 

[lighting]

Already done, it seems that corrected some hesitation that the engine had specially when cold. When I get a chance will post some pictures.

Run my 12S in open loop config. This mod did seem to smooth out the idle even better.

 

[CoastieRider]

is there supposed to be a little bit of smoke coming out of the breather hoses when its running? i never noticed it before, just want to make sure it's ok..
