Want to see what crap your breather dumps into your intake?
« on: October 10, 2015, 05:48:09 PM »

2012 CVO SG, Liqui-Moly 10W60 oil with about 400 miles on it; 25000 miles on bike, just had a valve job, new seals, guides, springs.  57H cam.  Makes good power and shows no measurable oil consumption.

I put on a clean and dry catch can and rode 250 miles in 70 degree weather, not riding hard at all, got 43mpg.  This video shows what came out, at least an ounce of goo.

Here is what the replacement can looks like mounted.  Was going to clean/replace at each oil change, but I better do it every few tanks of gas.

If you route that hose up and under the gas tank, down the backbone and into the battery compartment and parallel to the gas overflow hose, you can eliminate the catch can altogether.  I've done this with my last two bikes, maintenance free!  Because you are routing the oil up, most of the oil drains back into the heads.

Don't forget to plug the original vents in the backing plate.  Drilled and tapped for 1/4 x 20 Allen head set screws secured with Loctite...

I'd rather not have that goo running back into my motor.  Lots of water in it, and I'm sure it's pH is probably acidic.

Pete. Please explain how that work. I'm not following and am interested in both setups.

Check out the Kuryakyn website and search "bluegrass breather kit".  I used that system on my SEEG and have applied the same principle on my SERG using pipe fittings instead of the banjo fittings.  I had to do that because you can't use their banjo fittings with the stock ventilator air cleaner.   

Running the breather hoses down means gravity works against you versus for you so you discharge more oil to ground or into a catch can.  No way to hide the hose or the catch can so not as visually pleasing.  You can't see the bluegrass set up nor what I have done unless I point it out to you.

After 50 years of fooling with motors, I see no need for this diverting the overflow waste. Let it burn, combustion temp is so high these days that immediately the fumes are turned into exhaust waste go away and they are almost fully fumes at this stage, turn to liquid as they cool and accumulate in hose or can. If really worried about it, use a add-on bung welded into high vacuum area of exhaust and let the exhaust suck it out like we did our race cars 40 years ago before we found vacuum pumps. But nothing I want to deal with in a can hung under a vehicle. JMHO.
