For the good of all Blasters, anyone who can shed some light on why BC Rider is down, or even better, if someone like EZ (is there anyone like EZ?!?) has the same good info available to post here on Badweb, about re-routing breather, exhaust and K&N stuff... their site's how-to's are (were?) good to have, and if they are down, we will want to be able to keep that info for all to share here. | ||

I don't think that site had been updated in years. Although this was an excellent site, all of this info is on Badweb, in much more detail than BC Rider's. | ||

My list of backyard tricks include; * Pro Series Race Kit: Carbon Fiber air cleaner assembly with K&N Air Filter. Race exhaust with muffler and race Engine Computer Module (ECM). * K&N mini Billet Fuel Filter * American Sport Bike lower front Polyurethane Exhaust Bushing * 2001 Cylinders, front Brake Rotor and rear Shock and an updated Primary Tensioner Our Buell S3 Thunderbolt projects: Pro Series | DDFI | Fuel Filter Recall | Winterize get info on Buell motorcycles including S3 and Blast 2001 Buell Blast with White Brothers E-Series exhaust Get Tech... Crankcase Breather Tube The Buell Blast's stock breather tube vents down the carb in an attempt to re-burn the vapors to meet emission standards.Breathe the air on a Blast... A disadvantage to this is liquids also go down the intake and create deposits in the combustion chamber, gumming up the spark plug and robbing the engine of horsepower. To make the motorcycle run cleaner, we vented the vapors into the atmosphere by rerouting the breather tube under the seat while retaining the original drain tube. To let vapors out and prevent liquids from misting out onto the bike, we capped it with a K&N breather filter. Before you begin this modification, you need to remove the gas tank. (See article on this page) (click photos to enlarge) Buell Blast breather tube Trim off two barbs from tip of PCV valve. Turn it 180 degrees. Route hose with sleeve through hole in frame, bypassing original tee at the airbox. T-fitting on breather tube Tee off just above the rear of the primary cover, retaining original drain tube. K&N breather filter under Blast seat Route breather tube under seat and cap with a breather filter (We used K&N. Part No. 62-1000). Tie wrap to secure. Plug hole in air-box to prevent dirt from entering. After running the Blast with this set up, the bike runs cleaner inside and out. It's good to check and drain any sludge from the tube periodically, at least twice a month when ridden regularly. 2001 Buell Blast Tiny but Tough Don't let this little single cylinder motorcycle fool you. 500cc and some after-market modifications make this Buell Blast live up to it's pre-production code name; Thor. What we've done; * White Brothers E-Series exhaust system and re-jetted carburetor Editor note: WB has discontinued the E-Series. Other after-market exhaust systems are available. Try searching Vance & Hines, Kerker or contact a Buell dealer for more information. * Reroute crankcase breather tube. (See article on the left) These mods fill the dip in the torque curve of the stock setup. There's no lean spot in the mid-range anymore.

How to remove Buell Blast gas tank Remove tube from gas tank vent, located near the gas cap. Remove seat then remove bolt at back of tank cover. Slip ring off oil filler and remove tank cover. Turn off fuel valve before disconnecting fuel line. There will be fuel in the line so have a rag handy. Remove two bolts from back of tank. There are two rubber sleeves that help position the tank and act as a vibration dampener. Slide these two rubber sleeves off the frame. Finally, slide the tank back and off to remove. Note: To prevent any gas spills when placing the tank aside, make certain the tank isn't resting on the fuel valve.
