crank breather
16 Jun 2008 15:42
How do you guys have the breathers attached, and how do you order the right size,and where? Its for an 82 Kz550a3. Saw it on Dennis Kirk, but have no idea what size, i/d o/d to order. Does Z1 have em?
Im also having trouble finding pods for the carbs too, its an 82 KZ550 a3 with the tk carbs. Ive seen them on ebay, but there not just cheap, they dont even show a brand. The ebay listing have it as 39mm, and i cant seem to find that thru dennis kirk. Have everything but 39mm. Z1 again? or anyone here have a set there looking to get rid of?

almost goofed on this myself,DO NOT put a breather on that.the breather will eventually get clogged and create so much pressure in your crankcase that will cause SEVERE engine damage.just route the hose under the swingarm

kawboy i would imagine that would be the same with any engine but not sure.i did alot of reading about it when i got my first kz and alot of peeps said to do it and alot said not to do it and some said to put a clear hose with a filter so you could see the blowby.i did what wg said to do as he has more experience than i do
your gonna have to copy and paste the link
