Ok on the XB, what is the hose that goes from the head to the intake?

 

Are you refering to the breather hose? It pulls blow by out of the motor and sends it back through the intake. JMO

 

ok so if I connect it to a oil catch with a breather it should be ok right?

 

Yes, one hose in from motor and another hose from can to intake tube.

 

ok well theres where mine differs....I have it goin to a little can and a filter connected to the can. No back to the intake hose.

 

Thats fine, but the catch can becomes pointless at that point, just something else to clean, it was made to be routed back to your intake, but "catch" heavy oil deposites before you pulled them throught the intake manifold. Keeping your intake clean, and to keep dirty air out of the combustion process, but just letting it breath out is fine, EPA would frown but whatever. Well, i guess the catch can would keep that breather clean anyways.

 

I was thinkin about just putting a breather right off the head and do away with the hose. Keep it cleaner and less busy.

 

I see this description of the catch can...

I was thinkin the same but when I pulled the hose off I saw a little puddle of oil in the hose. I did the straight filter off the head of my bike and it was spraying oil all over the place lol. Not that that has anythign to do with these

Ok well the reason I was checking this was because I get totally random C.E.L, VCS, and TRAC OFF, lights they come and go as they please. I havent done anything other than that to even think of tripping somethihng. I talked to a dude today that said I had a loose ground somewhere????

 

What direction does the airflow go in that tube? If the airflow is back toward the head then a breather filter right off the head would be a good solution.

 

its both actually. its like hee whoo hee whoo! but realy fast lol
