upon taking my bike apart to rebuild, and fix it,,,i noticed the trannie breather hose was melted in half by the rear cylinder header...it mustve been like that for a while...this doesnt do anything to the performance does it??  | ||

No, but you do NOT want to smell cooking tranny fluid. | ||

Mine was getting a little melted from the day I bought it. Take a black zip-tie and pull it away from the pipe by wrapping around the wire harness there and you'll be fine. Won't hurt anything but it'll leave a mark on your pipe not to mention crap will come out of the breather tube at the hole instead of underneath the bike. | ||

thanks for the tips...well my next step in dis-assembling my bike is taking the header pipe off...the front bolts shouldnt be a problem, but the back bolts seem to be hidden hella good...anyone on the board here that has done it without taking the whole frame apart, please give your insite as i really need it thanks again | ||

Undo the top shock mount, undo the torx bolts for the fan housing. ROTATE (direction under fan removal in the service manual) the fan housing 1/8-1/4 turn then remove the fan housing. Viola, you can now reach the rear exhaust bolts | ||

not to mention crap will come out of the breather tube at the hole instead of underneath the bike. Doesn't the transmission breather hose exit under the battery in the undertray (XB_R's)? Is it necessary for that hose to be such a large diameter and as long as it is? Would there be anything wrong with putting in a short (~4-in.) piece of hose at the outlet and curving it down to keep rain out? Mike. |
