Is it mandatory to run a crankcase breather on my KZ? im not running a surge tank, i have pod filters. after my ride yesterday noticed alot of oil, saturated the back of the bike.

Yep, ya gotta do something with it. Some people have a nipple welded to their exhaut pipe and route the breather hose to that, I've got a setup to route mine to the emmisions fittings on my head, some just run a hose up under the seat. If I were going to do that, I'd stuff half of a Chore Girl(tm) halfway down the hose to give the oil vapor something to precipitate on.

I put a breather filter on mine. Z1 probably has it and JCWhitney has one that mounts on the frame w/tubing to the breather.
