Re: kleen air on my 636-good idea!
hey john...on my gixxer i just put a filter rite out of the crankcase and capped the airbox...was that stupid or smart....whats teh correct way to kep oil from going to the air box....not that im dragging now becuz i got a round bar...but just for assurence ..thankx alot...
Habent tried that but from what i've heard from others is that the vent idea helps a little over stock but will eventually still leak oil everywhere... This KLEEN air mod is the way to go and it's cheap and easy!

I see a lot of '03 and '04 636'ers are doing this, but do the '05 and '06's have the same problem? I'm more of a car guy - is this similar to the PCV system on a car?

its the same on 03/05 r6... and GSXR this so called "KLEEN MOD", i have seen air tite kleen mods blow valve cover gaskets/stator gaskets.. so if u happen to get an oil leak after words don't freak out.

Re: kleen air on my 636-good idea!
this mod sounds way better than the 3ft. heater hose from crankcase to a pcv valve at the end and cap off the air box. has anyone done this mod and switched over, if so is it a lot better? i hate the mod i have right now, my motor needs some better tlc.....

Yes it's the same problem on the 05-06 too.
That's what I have.
As long as your not creating a system that doesn't vent the crankcase pressure you'll be fine.
Wether it's connected to the Kleen Air Valve, or a catch can with a breather....it will be fine. Just make sure it can relieve pressure.
The Kleen air vents into the exhaust port so it's the easiest route in my opinion.
I've been riding mine like this for a while now and had no problems AT ALL.
AND the bike is a little more torky now wich is always a plus

I had that one at first but I didn't like it cause it would still make an oily mess.
This way the whole setup is cleen and maintenance free.

Re: kleen air on my 636-good idea!
I wish I could tell you for sure but I don't remember messin with one on mine. As far as I know it wasn't taken off before i got the bike.
So my guess is yes, only on Ca models

Coo..... I just rigged it, didn't have a chance to try it out though. But like I said I wasn't having any problems before. I did notice a little oil in the little container before... but none in air box.
