• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

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
 
Picture not to detailed ---but is that not your oil breather pipe that plugs into your air box ?
 
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.
