Is it worth installing oil drain tubes from the airbox so the oil don't get in the air filter. I have seen a few bikes with the metal braided hoses added on. I know if your oil level is on the high side it tends to blow more oil in. ???

 

I would not worry too much if it is only a few drops. If it becomes a wet oily mess then yes run a drain.

 

How is this done? Any pics?

 

Easier solution: don't over fill. Even with a "drain" the filter will still soak up any oil sloshed in there. The oil is the result of intake to exhaust imbalance (reversion) so it's a symptom of another problem. The in-to-out ratio is 10-20% intake and 80-90% exhaust balance. Has EFI been re-calibrated for the pipes and filter?

 

No, its not a lot only a little residue over 1,000 miles or so. I just see them on bikes from time to time. Just want to know if this is a usefull add on or just for show.

 

I have had a little oil come into every twin i have ever owned. Not saying it is good or bad it has just never botherd me much. I ran a drain on 1 bike but always worried about elements by passing filtration and getting sucked into the engine.

 

Good deal, I'll move on and look for something else on the bike to tinker on. thanks
