2007 Boulevard S40 Breather Tube <---
04/12/11 at 21:12:07

Hello, I would like to start off by saying this is a freaking amazing website & FORUM!

question is .... i ordered one of these today....

its an air filter cone off ebay, which dz-customs makes....i can't post links on my first post..

i was told there was a breather tube on the carb... is this correct? and if so.. which i seen in other posts.... DO I PUT ANYTHING ON THE END OF IT?
I use the bike to go back and forth to work, and for upnorth trips...

I'm thinking i should put another k&n style filter on that hose too....but do i?? and if i do.... where the heck can i order one? ... or what are the messurements of it..

name brands.... anything would really help... i'm a noob... Embarrassed

Thanks everyone! i really appreciate your help !

You need to buy a little breather filter for it... You can't block that tube,... it'll ruin your engine.

If you leave it open, it will expose your oil to the elements, and it will throw oil around making a mess...

You need something like this...

Arnold... I can't see it on the fiche... but, it comes off the right side of the head and goes to the air filter via 1/2"(approx) black hose ...
The crankcase breather,.. like what holds your PCV valve in your car...

If I were doing it,... I'd drill a hole in the cone filter shell and run it into the filter where it belongs... No mess, no pollution and most sanitary looking install....
Maybe using something like this to attach...

I'd run the tube into the air filter, myself.... but, I think the stock filter box looks pretty good... so I left mine on and put a K/N replacement in it...

heres the cone style k&n air filter.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350190983254&ss...

So would you recommend drilling in the cone air filter and making that other hose(breather tube) hook up in the air filter cone?

or just buy a breather tube cone filter like you posted?

By the way... is that the crank case hose? i thought it was just a hose that sucks air in...

im just learning how to work with bikes, im a noob lol! <----

thanks guys!

Maybe best to use a separate crankcase filter for that one.

Choice is purely cosmetic... Arnold?... so you left the airbox in place when you added the cone filter?...
