I have a question on the xb breather hoses.
At IDLE I can physicaly feel the air escaping and puffing out with my finger tips when i put it over the hose. I know this is good.
But when I give it throttle the air pressure you used to be able to feel at idle goes away. It stops outputing air pressure when i give it gas.
Then when it(the throttle) comes back down to idle it then starts outputing air.

Is this normal on the XB?
Is this how theyre supposed to work during higher than idle engine speed?

Thanks

It's working great.

If it blows significantly when you give it gas, then you have problems. It means exhaust gas (blowby) is making it past the rings, escaping into the crankcase and venting through the rocker covers.

On my XB, the rear cylinder's hose is blowing less air, than the front cylinder's hose?

Is this normal??
