Alright, so I did an airbox mod to my bike last fall. I've had no problem in the lot, but today I went out and did a few wheelies in the street and it smokes like crazy as soon as it comes up. Is anyone else having this problem? I know the mod is doing the job because it's obviously burning the oil instead of filling up the airbox. I put extra oil in the bike, but only until the top of th sight glass is full.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this.

Thanks!

 

sounds like you put in too much oil, it will find it's own level eventually

 

I thought this might be the problem right away. But i looked at it today and it looks like the oil level is in the middle of the high and low level line.

 

Meh, it's just cuz you went to the darkside and bought a Kawi. It's a sign! Haha, J/K!!!

 

mine did the same ****. it will burn off the excess and stop eventually. or you can drain a lil? hopefully thats all it is and good luck.

 

Not doubting that you did the mod right but if its dne right you shouldnt burn oil at all. Is your airbox completely sealed with no breather lines going to it?

 

did you disable the pair valve? if you leave the little vacuum line on the back of it then it can still open and close

 

Yes, both the front and the back are plugged

Sorry roger but I don't know what the pair valve is. Is it the t connection on the front? If so that small vaccume line is still connected.

 

I took out the pair valve and put a T from home depot in there and plugged the vacuum line with a screw!

 

some one didnt follow directions...lol yes thats the pair valve and you need to disconnect that little vacuum line off the back of it because with that line connected the pair valve is opening and closing according to the amount of vacuum in the motor and that is bad because it allows pressure to build up in the crankcase ....

just unplug that vacuum line and stick a long screw in it and dont worry about capping off where it came from there is no need

 

now that I think about it I think I cut it in half and put a screw in both sides of the hose. But I'll have to check it out later tonight to make sure.

 

if you did that you should be good to go

 

Thanks for that link the other day btw omr did the mod last night was super easy Lol sounds way worse then it is ... went to start it up though at my batt went to the shiter... so have to wait till tonight to test it

 

ya so many people act like it's major surgery but really all you are doing is bypassing the air box and dissabling the pair valve

 

All the posts i read about it make it seem like major surgery... Lol until you showed me that link eazy as cake did not even have to buy anything Lol

 

Any other ideas on why it would smoke than?

 

15000 rpm 2 mile long wheelies ?..

 

It happens right away.. i'd say when I hit maybe 8 or 9 thousand and dip just barly past balance point.

 

hhhmmm stumped
