Where did you mount PCV on your te449/511 ?

[danny318]

Hey all - just looking for some input on the best place to mount the PCV box on this bike.
I don't have a problem lengthening some of the wires if needed.

Hi Danny, I have mine mounted inside the left side full length fairing panel on my 511. I had to extend the earth battery wire but other than that everything else fitted like a glove. If you need a picture let me know.

That's where I mounted mine too. It makes it hard to connect the USB cable without removing the side panel.

Would one of you be willing to post of photo?

I've also seen it mounted on the throttle body plastic cover.

That's where I mounted mine too. It makes it hard to connect the USB cable without removing the side panel.

I also have my PCV installed under the left panel but leave the usb cable attached and tucked under the seat next to the power up plug. The port on the PCV is sealed with a small amount of silicone and the rest of the cable can be protected with a usb end cap or a ziplock bag. This was suggested by Dynojet when I installed my autotune unit.

I have the autotune unit mounted under the seat.

Thanks a lot guys. Pictures would be great if you have time

mine is next to the zipty oil tank, on the right side, on fuel tank,
looks cool and is not as vunerable as it looks, and is very accessable
for computer hookup

I think I'm going to mount it on the left side secondary gas tank. I'll take some pics when I finish hopefully tomorrow.

Welp, just ordered a PCV tonight. Looking forward to the results. I sent my ECM to Zipty for a reflash and was lucky enough to have one of the ECM's that was "locked". Keep us updated on how it goes danny!

Here's a pic of my PCV & Auto Tune.

I did the exact same as jerbear but have the module flipped over so I can connect the laptop without removing the side panel.

I bodged this together today out of stuff I had at my house workshop as a "Proof of Concept", I will make a nicer version at work (sheared SS, slotted hole, shave down the allen head a bit in a lathe, black tie straps and make a nylon spacer for between the bracket and TB).

 

[danny318]

Hmm that is pretty nice.
This is what I ended up doing - works fine, doesn't hit my leg or anything.

 

[danny318]

Slightly better

I am going to make this up in the next little bit; found some 0.050" SS sheet in the C-Can so all I need to do is confirm hole location:

Here is mine all hidden away.

Mine is mounted with Velcro like Danny's below. But instead of attaching it to a thin piece of metal held on by the two screws, I used 1/8" aluminum and cut it to the Keihin throttle cover shape. It mounts with only 1 screw, and has a hole cut out so that the indent fits through. This provides a nice flat area for the pcv to mount.

Hmm that is pretty nice.
