I used to have a 2009 TE 510. Great bike etc. I recently found a 2013 TE 511 on craigslist with 6500 miles original owner you get the point. Not to mention this is a completely weird bass ackwards machine. The original owner had it serviced religiously at the local husqvarna stealership. I purchased it for probably more that I should have but due to.my previous experience with the 2009 it was a super cool bad ass machine that I thought would be a fun machine to ride.
The owner told me about the oil puking issue when I looked at it. I bought it anyway and looked towards ziptyracing for the oil recirculation gen 3 system that they used to offer. I didn't really find much help through zip tie even though they managed to tell some stories about their old fix that isn't available at this current time. Some parts are currently available. Don't hold your breath.
I decided to make my own kit. I don't know how popular this could get if it does at all but I want to help those who own basic tools and are willing to do some work to make their own kits. Its not $600 or super complicated either.
I bought a $25 oil catch can with a breather from Amazon for about $20. I originally mounted it off of an old smog parts mount. I decided it was a bit on the flimsy side so I spent zero dollars on some old aluminum street sign material. I purchased 2 feet of 1/2" hose.
I ran the 2 feet of 1/2" hose to the the new breather tank i mounted in the same location as the smog equipment. It sits in a great spot and looks factory to anyone not paying super attention to detail. The crank case breather tube runs to the new breather can. Old line removed and capped at air box.
The only complicated part of this setup is the zip tie second screen AN Fitting. Its a -6 AN nipple that replaces the second screen plug. I purchased a -6 AN 90* X Push lock Fitting runs to the drain on the oil catch can that recirculates the oil back to the dry sump pickup. Not so sure this would be hard to duplicate if you are halfway mechanically inclined.
If anyone is interested let me know and I would be happy to help wherever I can.
