    Question for guys with pods

    Just curious... The tube that runs from the top of the intake back to the air box, to reroute unburnt gas (can't remember the proper term for it), what do you guys do with that?

    You can either make your own catch-can (favourite beer can is popular with the streetfighter boys) or just tuck it back under the seat somwhere.

      That is a crankcase vent. Get a crankcase vent filter and install it where the airbox was.

        If you put a breather filter on it, try to situate it so the hose & filter point UP so that if any oil gets pushed out that line it will run back into the breather cover! Ray.

          I used to run a filter now I just run a hose all the way to the back of the bike and tuck it in by the license plate so it's out of sight.

            I have run a hose down the back of the engine with the other vent hoses, or you can look at this thread.

              I am actually running mine back between the two middle pods and the vapor pretty much gets sucked right into the middle pods.

                  The reason I ran mine to the back of the bike is because over time you end up with an oily mess where the hose ends from the vapors.
