question about breather (Read 4 times)

splash07 Serious Thumper Offline Posts: 911 Charleston, SC Gender:	question about breather 09/16/07 at 22:29:45 OK so i have read in a few threads to keep the crankcase breather above the engine. Why is this? i have thaught on this for awhile and cant come to a reasonable conclusion. I am sure there is a reason that makes sense.

Then pull the plug on your airbox drain.

I also replaced my air box with the cone style, does this mean that oil will be blown through the cone filter, should i worry about this? When i had the airbox though i did notice a lot of oil builds up in the bottom in a short period of time.

What do you call a lot of oil build-up in the airbox?

I feel stupid for not realizing this. and i think there was a lot in there because i never nor did the previous owner ever drain the airbox at any point.
