    on my 2007 XB9R city X with 525 miles on it, i did the reroute and hayden breather valve set-up. i don't think it made a damn bit of difference but it sure gave me a good excuse to spend money. also gives me parking lot bragging rights as to who knows the most about buells, sexy parts hanging on bike, crankcase scavenging dynamics, on and on. LOL LOL:D

    I did it to get rid of a lot of the residue the stock set up left on the inside of the airbox, when I got the bike a year ago. But it did seem to clear up a lot of the jerk/surge/stumble I had when I held the throttle steady at a low rpm...like when I was practicing the Box exercise from the basic rider course.

    I am thinking I may need to do it. I went for a 100 mile ride today and everytime I would get on it at about 3500-4000rpm it would lag a bit before kicking in. Anyone use the KDFab set up

    My setup: http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Foru...breather-setup

    Very easy and very cheap. I might have had $10 in the whole thing.

    Thanks captain. You wer spitting a lot of oil before. I am actually found an old spray gun, that is beyond repair. Thinking about converting the canister to a catch can.

    I got the open air kit and the catch can from American sport bike at the same time , and if I remember correct the hoses came with air kit , not the catch can . I do not run any filter , do not need it with the can , it has a an overflow that works as a vent . My bike is an 09 and I do get a little build - up after some rides . I usually check it after a few rides and the build - up is there , just not much .

    my bike had a pretty good oil film in the air box and a lil on the air filter. I'm perdy sure its not from "excessive" blow by its only got 6.7k on it. I ride in fairly humid weather (southwest iowa southeast neb in the spring thru fall. So to avoid ne Crankcase gasses/oil goin down the intake i went ahead with it, spent 50 bucks. Dont know if it will make ne difference havent rode it yet. I figured what the hell, it couldnt hurt. Also all the harley custom intakes or Screamin Eagle intakes route the breather away from the intake charge so there might b something to it.
