Ok I give .... what is a puke can? I seen a buddy of mine use one but I don't think that's what you guys are talking about. thanks

it collects oil coming through the engine breather hose (blow by??) - keeps everything clean and tidy and when it gets full you empty it

hey guys how the hell do you get to the hose in the heads,it sits so far in ,its hard to get a pair of pliers to get the clamp off,any tricks?also is the front line 1/4"? im just wondering how i would get the old clamps off and tighten up the new clamps.... thanks jim

good question delly I was thinking the same thing. Any input on that from those who have done it would be great. I want to get the hose from the rear head away from the backing plate. I don't follow why a filter would be any use on the end of the rear hose either rather than a puke can as the rear head hose blows. Can someone also please confirm the sizes of the hoses needed for the Super Sidewinder please for front and rear hoses?

I posted these a while back but in case you didn't see them here they are again.

The bowl screws are the slot type which I really don't like and can be changed to SHCS they are 10-24 X 3/4 (3 ea.) and 10-24 X 2 3/8 (1 ea.)
If you remove the Bowl plug (brass plug on bottom of bowl) with a small clear container under it you will catch all the gas and be able to see if you have any dirt etc that may be in your carb.

Lee...I believe the rear breather hose is 3/8 and the front breather hose is 7/32......here is the post that Gas put up....

Hey Slow, did you have to adjust your carb settings after the rejet? I see you still have the white cap on your idle fuel/air mixture screw, that is why I asked. How does it run?

 

[117bigdog]

with the breather valve, which way shoud it flow? should you be able to blow into it or suck on it while its connected to the rear head?

 

[V]

The breather vent is to allow crank case pressure to escape the cylinder head. So the way you worded your question would be to suck not blow:roll:

 

[117bigdog]

I laughed after I read my post also. I had a shop change my hoses to clear hoses and they flipped that valve around. What would that do? and would it cause problems?

 

[V]

Could blow off and or cause oil leaks. The pistons move a lot of air in the crankcase and it has to be able to go some where.:up:

 

[117bigdog]

what about make the motor use allot of oil? I haven't rode the bike in months, but I just got back from the key west poker run. 230 miles each way. when i got there i was a quart low. people were telling me that i was blowing allot of smoke out of the exhaust. could that valve being switched do all of that or do you think I have anither problem? ( valve seals?)

 

[V]

Yea it could push some oil by the guides. Some of the 05's had issues with the TP boxes and rocker arms affecting the guides.
