Crankcase Vent pickle

[Plow Horse]

Need a bit of advise/help. Took out the Tupperware and installed K&N filters today. Lengthened the IAT sensor wire and put the sensor in a K&N 62-1560 filter. Remapped the ECU with one of Hanso‘s tune. And all is great. Except that GD Crankcase vent got the original hose to pop off with the aid of a screwdriver. I have a K&N 62-1340 to put on the spigot but.
1. I can NOT get my hand in there and
2. The filter appears to be too tall to fit in the location, top of the filter is hitting the bottom of the air box so I can’t lift it high enough to get it on the spigot. Do I have the wrong filter?

Drill a hole in bottom of air box fit a length of hose then filter.

Mine did the same I wiggled it on an angle with long nose pliers. Once it is over the spigot it is not too Long anymore. Just be patient and it will fit

I ran a longer piece of hose on mine and actually put the filter up under the rear of the tank. Allows it to breath, gives more hose to allow the oil particles to collect and settle back down without soaking the cotton filter, and makes it easier to get to.

Do you remember what diameter hose you used?

 

[Stillserving]

I do not, but it was whatever diameter the filter inlet was, I believe. Also, I think @sonny did it recently too. I'll see if I can find that thread.

Here's Sony's thread:

Crank Case Breather

In a high hp build or a bike which has to see sustained high speed, ( one customer was sitting on 200kph on the way to work for an hour each morning and night) I usually add some height to the tube where the little filter sits on. I have on occasion added a couple of little "S" bends to the tube...

Success got that little SOB on there. I’ll do a relocate another day.
I had stopped at OReilly’s and picked up some hose and clamps. Got to the garage took off seat removed bear claw, lifted the seat took off the infill plate and realized I needed a barb for the hose. Project for another day
