#377625 Rowdy (User) Elvis is EVERYWHERE Senior Boarder Posts: 254 whats the deal with the slime from air filter? 2 Years ago   so i have a barons big air kit put on my 05r* 1700, along with jetting and v&h big shots with included baffles (not quiet baffles). i also get an oil change and go with 4.0 quarts of synth oil. when i ride now i get what i can only assume is oil coming out of the rear of the big air kit (rear meaning the area that is rearmost towards the back of the bike). it gets all over the exhaust pipe just below where the pipe connects to the rear cylinder. and spatters on other items in the general area. it seems to get gunked up at higher speeds (55 to 70). is this common? what the heck? if i go back to the oem airbox and new oem filter will i be ok? i hate that this is happening and it seems like a better design could have been made if this is the crank case vent doing this.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #377638 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5279 Re:whats the deal with the slime from air filter? 2 Years ago   One of 2 things or 2 things, if you over oiled the filter element, it's the excess blowing off at speed. If you connected the crankcase vent hose to the back of the BAK, take it off, plug the hole in the bak, and run the crancase hose to a small filter, a hose to below bike or my mod   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/05/17 22:22 By Erbman02.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #377649 Rowdy (User) Elvis is EVERYWHERE Senior Boarder Posts: 254 Re:whats the deal with the slime from air filter? 2 Years ago   thanks. i like the pics of the mod. but where does the filter empty to? does it just terminate at the filter? if it does do you periodically clean it or just leave it be? any info is appreciated.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #377651 Rowdy (User) Elvis is EVERYWHERE Senior Boarder Posts: 254 Re:whats the deal with the slime from air filter? 2 Years ago   i should clarify that i had this done last fall. and i was told that there was probably just a smidge too much oil and the condition should go away on its own. but it never does. the bike runs good, it just gets slimy.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #377659 Rowdy (User) Elvis is EVERYWHERE Senior Boarder Posts: 254 Re:whats the deal with the slime from air filter? 2 Years ago   also a correction, i have longshots, not bigshots.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #377665 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5279 Re:whats the deal with the slime from air filter? 2 Years ago   I just change it every 10k miles, bout twice a yr, whether it needs it or not. for the 5 bucks or so, what the heck. also replace the entire hose about every 2 yrs, just to keep all the plumbing clean. No garage, so it's easier to just dump the entire hose and replace.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #377701 TMK (User) Sometimes Wrong But Never In Doubt Platinum Boarder Posts: 1082 Re:whats the deal with the slime from air filter? 2 Years ago   Same thing with my K&N filter and box...I just wipe it off every so often, clean the pipe and get on down the road   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #377727 nightstar57 (User) ride it like ya paid for it .. Platinum Boarder Posts: 3336 Re:whats the deal with the slime from air filter? 2 Years ago   i just rerouted the hose on the 05 roadie 2 months ago because oil was getting on the exhaust pipes..like my 07 i ran the hose down to the bottom of the bike and no more oil spatter..dont need that crap going into the carb..its just e.p.a. bull****   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #377821 Rowdy (User) Elvis is EVERYWHERE Senior Boarder Posts: 254 Re:whats the deal with the slime from air filter? 2 Years ago   so 2 questions now. 1) is there a hose coming from the top of both cylinders? and 2) is there any reason i cant just route these hose/hoses straight to the bottom of the bike and out the bottom of the frame at a slight angle to avoid having the discharge going directly under the rear tire? and in everyones opinion, could the discharge actually gunk up the rear tire making it less safe? im guessing the amount is throws shouldnt affect the tire, but i am not even qualified to be a shade tree mech.. okokok, one more question, does there need to be a filter on the end of this hose, or can i vent it straight into the pavement?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #377828 oneperfectrun (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 893 Re:whats the deal with the slime from air filter? 2 Years ago   Had the same problem when I installed my K&N kit. I just routed my breather tube so that the blow by would be sucked into the throat of the fuel injection. No more oil and no problems.   Logged     Any old hippie that knows a pan head also knows a Roadie aint one! .......takehikes   The administrator has disabled public write access.
