callison Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 Leaks oil. Jeez... ya think??? Never underestimate the ability of a cracked crankcase recirc hose to dump oil all over your bike at 80 mph. Try two quarts in 25 miles.
dbdicker Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 EEK! That musta made a helluva mess. Lookin' for the 5 gallon drum of S100 under the tree this year? (for you, a bar of soap will have to do).
Paul Minnaert Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 that's from the 1100 sport I suppose? agressive oil you have :-) Over the years they tend to become porosive, but I haven't seen it this worse.
al_roethlisberger Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 With the number of complaints we've heard over the years of this hose failing from heat deterioration, etc.... I think it makes sense to perhaps make a replacement out of some of the "indestructable" high performance hoses and fittings one can get from SummitRacing.com, a local "hot rod shop", etc.... There are hoses like the blue stuff I used during my first rounds of fuel-pump relocation, that is safe to several hundred degrees, and well over 100 psi. Add a couple appropriate angle fittings... and you'll probably never have to replace this hose again.... for about $40 worth of parts probably. al
