449/511 Breather hose mod

[Tinken]

I really wish we lived near each other.

I'm glad neither one of you live near me... Bad enough Randy lives in state.

News for the breather mod... I designed a brand new breather (not the bottle, but the breather itself) for the Kymco engine that will fit on all 449 and 511's. Production should begin at the end of the week and of course they will be anodized in red.

Shiney red?

 

[Tinken]

Shiney red?

Haha, funny you ask because Ty asked me if our new anodizer will do bright dip. He might bright dip it, it costs a little more, we'll see.

 

[Caiman]

Would probably look better if it was the same colour as the Husky special parts blingy bits.

 

[Tinken]

That's regular anodizing like this:

This is bright dip anodizing:

 

[Londin]

Me like :-)

 

[Caiman]

I think I have one of those axle nuts, I'll compare it to the Husky petrol cap...

EDIT: Similar colour to the fuel cap, red-er than the oil filter cover.

 

[Tinken]

we'll see what Ty wants to do, we might be able to bright dip it

 

[Tinken]

Here is the colors we use. There are two reds, I prefer the red on the right which is slightly darker, but I don't know which matches the Husky hard parts.

 

[Caiman]

To be honest, I have so many anodised red bits on my bike none of them match lol

But the red on the right looks better I guess, depends how much surface area there is whether it'll be red overload.

 

[Tinken]

I have red and blue anodized stuff, with my plastics all white, I'm the star spangled banner... lol

I'm a perfect example of somebody who haves there shitt together . Yes who wants to live under this tyrant California . They think they can tell us how to build a smog setup.

I recently purchased a 2013 TE 511. Its my fourth Husky, 92 610, 04 TE 450 and 04 WR 250. My shiny new scooter also has excessive oil pushed into the airbox. I called the dealer I bought it from to see if the Factory will pay for the remedy, which seems to be the oil return system talked over on this thread. I've ordered a filler cap from zip ty and spun up a billet can on my lathe. But, however comma, I got to thinking, this is a shiny new scooter with, in my eyes a serious manufacturing flaw. I am pissed about having to fix it myself and will not accept lower oil levels, white exhaust smoke and oil puking all over the floor and my riding gear. This is pushing brand loyalty a little to far down my throat. Perhaps I should have read this thread prior to puschase.

If you put in too much oil it will blow it out the breather. So... don't put in too much oil. It is as simple as that. I don't think you need to reengineer the oil system.

My Husky runs with about the same amount of oil as my Yamaha and Honda 4 stroke bikes do. Not an unusually low amount.

Mine was over filled from the factory, like 1400cc. Run 1100cc, the rings are still seating as well and the gas could be building in your oil, it goes away after a couple 100 mile oil changes.

If you can wait a week or two, I have a new product coming which will drastically reduce the oil blow by without the use of a breather bottle. Although with a bottle, the oil should be fully contained even at the original recommended volumes.

Things getting serious now......

I modified the stock cap a little

 

[Tinken]

That's good, I love AN fittings and hate hose clamps. Sometimes they are a necessary evil, guess I could weld AN fittings to my radiators, but pressure in them never gets over a few pounds now.

 

[Tinken]

Is it possible to put a 1-way valve the thing on the return line?

EDIT: Like what swatdoc did with his graves tank on his yammy 450;

I tried the anti-flow back valve, worked better without it. Small diameter return tubing works.
