I have an 09 TE 610 with 12k on it. Since I bought it this summer I've had oil? Or something coming out of this Breather tube and coating my shock. Cleaned it off only to be covered again. I have it apart for some winter maintenance and would like to solve this problem. Any ideas? Thanks
Yes it is. The air box was plugged when the previous owner did the power up. Didn't think it was normal for that much oil to be coming out
Hmmmm wonder why he did THAT --- Power up kit is basically re-mapping ICU with plug over riding Lambda sensor and plugging exhaust hole where lambda sensor was removed ?
Yea. That's kinda normal. The way it sits now is a downward slope from the engine, so any oil vapour/splash will run down to the end. It should be routed into the airbox. Your other alternative is to run it to a oil catch can/separator. On my Hawk GT with uni pod filters, the crank case breather gets a small filter right in the valve cover. Extended high speed running would result in oil covering the rear head. I ran aong hose and placed the breather filter higher up. Not so bad now.
Yeah I had problems with oil dripping down and out of my airbox on my 2000 610, tried some quick tricks but the only one that eventually worked was to redirect the breather tube as close to pavement and as outwards possible to avoid oil depositing on my rear wheel. Best solution is to install a small filter (they sell some filters specifically for this in Europe) after a small can like bushwa suggested. Gotta say i was amazed to see the pressure that the breather system can reach - I may create a new thread about this.
