F4i oil in airbox

how many of you guys have this problem w/ f4i's especially when it falls to the left side and/or upside. the crankcase breather spews oil into the airbox which can ruin your airfilter, and hyrdolock the motor.... i have an idea to fix it but i need some more input... feel free to drop your

Re: F4i oil in airbox

does the f4i have the same style clean air system as the 636 ?

the 636 vents thru the exhaust ports so if you hook the crank case vent tube thru the clean air sytem it not only vents the crank case but it causes a vaccum in the crank case with out sucking it thru the combustion chamber ,thusly creating hp.......so if you can do the mod the same way the 636 is done you will solve your problem and gain hp, what more could you want from an almost free mod

Re: F4i oil in airbox

You can run the hose up to the frame by the steering neck and put a small breather filter on it, If it pukes any oil out when on the side it doesn't get into the motor( which my gixxer never has) Also when at 12 it puts the vent higher than the engine rather then horizontal with the engine-which will allow oil to come out. Works great some bikes will still spew a little oil out if overfilled and on the revlimiter. I had the gixxer overfilled a lot on accident and never lowered the level. Found out the hardway when on the revlimiter at 12 and oil spewed on me. Simple solution though, pick up tube and only fill it right over the site glass.
