What to do with crank case hose with air pods installed?
07 May 2018 20:16
Well hello, I am a brand new member but have owned my bike for 5 years, and have been very slowly re jetting it and getting it to run nice again.
I have a 79 KZ650B, it has 4-1 exhaust and the infamous filter pods rather than the air box.. so I'm wondering what to do with the crank hose? Right now I have a longer hose running it down under the bike.. I'm wondering if this is alright or can I do something different?

That is fine. Some guys connect the hose to a catch can, but if your engine's blowby is not really oily, then I would leave it as is.
I have also heard of running the hose to the drive chain to provide extra automatic oiling.

Run the breather hose up towards the bottom of the fuel tank as high as you can before ending in a breather filter, catch tank or just open to the air.
This allows oil mist droplets to fall out of the pumped air before reaching the end of the hose , encouraging it to drain back into the case and reducing the chance of oily residue getting on to external parts of the bike.
