the washers need to be used you may have more issues if you bracket is being stressed/flexed on your throttle body screws to account for the missing washers.. had a 587 no issues, and now a 425 no issues. unless the newer 2016's have different spacing i don't see how your 48 would be different from mine or any other newer sporty

 

Hey Rusty,


If you can give us a call at the office we will be glad to go over your options with you

Went with these baffles when installed air filter setup . Also eliminated catch can completely replumbed vent line back to oil bag then made breather for cap on tank filler . Then ran a 3/8 clear line up through frame tube to midway and installed one way breather to release pressure and not allow water or other to enter. Previous Bike had problem with oil leaking at catch can and vent bottom bike was not happy that scenario so just experimented with different systems , came up this one and has been trouble free and no oil residue at all.

Now this is service! ! !

Rusty, get a grip, install as required by the manufacturer bud.

Expect the unexpected.

You may have a difficult engine and thus may need something more than a simple fix, these caps are very simple, you may need to vent under the engine due to extreme ring gap or old, failing rings for some reason.

To check, put your finger over the vents while riding.
1. If your finger come off blue the pistons and all are working properly.
2. If you finger comes off black, oily etc you have a vent issue.

Cheers,

Took everything apart and re-installed it again. This time using the washers. Used blue loc tite on all threads again. Didn't have the rite tool to get those little C-clips out to add the additional filter on the bolts/didn't want to damage it trying to make a tool work. Took it for a quick spin around the neighborhood but not really a long enough ride to let it get up to full temp but everything looks good so far.

:Shrug:

 

Glad it worked out.

 

Good news. Oil stopped leaking from the threads of the bolts after installing the washers. Bad news...Im getting alot of blow by?

 

try adding the extra foam filter in there. then just go to a hose and filter, if your sure you oil isnt too high.

 

Unfortunately, its the nature of the beast. Some bikes just have more blow by than others. I loved the look of the breathers but nothing I tried eliminated the mist. Around town I had none, but at highway speeds I would get the mist you describe. I ended up going with my own version of this to keep the pipes and covers clean. http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/Prem...IS-BRT-SPT.htm

 

That is not "mist"...by mist, I mean a very fine spray and not heavy splotches like you show. Recheck your oil level (while it is hot)...half way between full and fill.


Double filter will probably reduce your splatters to a fine mist if any.
