OK so I figured I'd try the mod on my 636 after filling my airbox with oil while practicing stall jumping to the bike.

Man what a noticeable difference!
I did the mod where you run a hose straight from the crank case to the kleen air valve T. I also took the spring out of the Kleen diaphram assembly just in case it resricted anything. That way I knew it wouldn't build Case presure.

I had my idle up before this mod & now i had to cut it down to about half because the idle was so strong now.

The bike is much deeper and quieter sounding too.

I don't loose power on long wheelies anymore either

After riding it today compared to before the mod it seems like my rpms had to be up before to get the same power i get now.

Anyway that's my story and i'm sticking with it

ANybody else tried it and like it?

 

i need to do mine..well i have 2 more months to go till it be good enough to ride again

 

what did you just tee it off the two things coming off the top off the motor and take the kleen air thing right out. I'm going to do this this weekend. So, where does the oil go now? Into the top of the motor. Is that going to be bad. i read about this on the kawi forum but they don't do wheelies. I was wondering if this would hurt the motor.. Thanks for the info...

 

f4 ??????

 

thats awesome,bill d was telin me about this mod for my r6, run the line from the crankcase to a "smog inlet" he called it, i guess that means the same as the kleen air valve. can't wait to try it out now !

 

im not ssure what u guys are talking bouit..im lost...i have a 05 gixxer...i just took the tube from the case to the air box off...capped the box and put a filter rite on the crankcase....so as to oil will get in my air box..anyone else do this with a gixxer?

 

Yeah i just ran a 1/2" hose from my case to the "T" on the valve cover. I left the diaphram assembly on but took the spring out of it since there was no vaccum line hooked to it anymore.(capped) Now if I do have some oil come from the case it just goes into the exhaust port/header throught the factory kleen air assembly(diaphram) instead of my airbox. It also helps to keep hot oily air out of the airbox wich = more power & torque.

I'm gonna try it more tommorow with stalls and see if it blows any smoke out of the exhaust. If it does I may put a catch bottle inline close to the case so if oil does come out at 12 it will stay in there till i put it back down and then it will flow back down into the case. This way it will still let air pressure out but not oil.

So far so good tho with just the simple setup and my oil level just to the top mark on the spy glass.

 

The guy I bought this bike from (ezvx) locked the first motor up because of filling the airbox with oil and then it broke a rod.

I think it's worth the time and $5 that it takes to do it.

Plus there is a gain in performance in my opinion.

 

i think on gixxers its called a "pair mod"

 

i dont know what will happen if you use the factor T. the real way to do it is change the T and run the hose to the crank case. also dont run more then top of site glass on the oil level and you wont smoke at all. my bike has had this done for 1year and never smoked while other do. only diffrence was they were running more then top of glass when bike level. 2cent but do what you want

 

gotta 06' w/10,000 stunt miles... no smoke, and haven't had anyproblems w/oil in the air box. And so far it doesn't smoke, even after wheeling close to idle for a long time. No bar tricks, just the occasional scrape. I don't over fill the oil. I still plan on doing the kleen air mod.

 

yeah i the parts store i was at didn't have a "T" to replace it with so i had to make do with what i had (it was Sunday).

My oil is just below the top mark on the glass too.

Fixin to go ride now and test it out more but so far i'm happy with it

 

put up some pics of this,

sounds like a good idea.

 

Ok i rode more today and here's what i got...

Besides what i already said about the power, it seems to be smoother too.

I put it back on the tail for a about 45 seconds and then put it down and rode off. it smoked for little bit till it burn out of the exhaust but no big deal. ALOT better than goin in my airbox.

I don't care to do bar tricks (no bar anyway) but for someone that does they would be crazy not to do this mod to save their engine.

 

congrats thorpe, i have heard many success stories when people do this to their kawi's

incase any of you are wondering how to properly do this to a gixxer here is a helpful website,

Yeah here's a link with pics for the 636 too.
Finally found it again:

could you put up some pics??

 

i didn't read far enough into the forum to se the link! but your set up pics would help too

 

anyone got any pics of it for an r6?

 

going to do mine today
