Author Message   Shrympfrydryce Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:42 pm:        I just took my airbox cover off to have a look and I noticed the the crankcase vent tube on the left burped a little oil onto the air filter and the intake funnel. Bike has a little over 100 miles on it. I am following the break in procedure although it is difficult. WTF!   Rocketsprink Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:45 pm:        It is totally normal.   Pupu Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:45 pm:        that is why they are there, there is oil when i look at mine, i dont think there should be alot, but i do get oil in there.   Firebolt020283 Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:45 pm:        i belive that is normal but i will let the smarter people answer for sure   Shrympfrydryce Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:49 pm:        Just seems like getting oil into the intake would be a bad thing.   Sgthigg Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:52 pm:        You could buy a catch can and totaly eliminate it. It would keep those vapors/sludge from polluting you intake.   Shrympfrydryce Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:54 pm:        One more thing is sometimes when I blip the throttle from idle the engine seems to hiccup or miss. It has done this with the engine just warmed up and with the engine fully warmed up during a ride.   Wannabe Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:55 pm:        Sportsters did the same thing, at least my 2000 did. There are a number of "drainage kits" sold for the sportys, not sure about the buells.   Pupu Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:56 pm:        they dont like to be "blipped", has something to do with being pushrod or something, at least that is what i heard   Diablobrian Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:57 pm:        Perfectly normal especially since your rings aren't fully seated yet. Even after that you can have some nasty stuff end up in your airbox and intake if you don't install a catchcan for your crank case vents. You can find a nice cnc machined model at kdfab.com, or at American Sport Bike. The other way is to make your own out of tubing, and a small K&N type filter. If you do a search i'm sure you can find instructions to build one of these.   Cocobueller Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 09:58 pm:        It is a polution thing recirculating the natural internal combustion engine oil blow-by back into the engine, instead of of beltching it into the enviernment.   Firebolt020283 Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 10:00 pm:        dont all bikes do that i had a little hose on my zx9r coming off the airbox that had oil in it   Shrympfrydryce Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 10:03 pm:        Thanks for all the info guys. It seems like you all have a great community going on here and I am glad to be a new member. Thanks again. SFR   Pupu Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 10:06 pm:        welcome
