Ok, so the old owner of my IS was a putz. He installed a K&N filter (good idea) but then proceeded to modify the crankcase ventilation "old-school" by installing a filter mounted on top. Great idea for a dragster but produces one hell of a stinky smell that gets onto my dress clothes when riding. (I work in a fish tank style office)...
Shouldn't that tube go directly to the air cleaner some how? I need a schematic.
When I replaced the alternator I attempted to find the routing position for that tube (not the drool tube) but could not really tell since it's aftermarket crap. I love to modify stuff, but this bike is cursed near perfect the way Honda made it. I want to put it back like they intended.
ANY help would be appreciated my friends.
I actually found what I'm looking for thanks to wolfman's post:
http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,41617.0.html In the second picture, when viewing from the right hand side, there is a 1" rubber tube which goes to a box behind the ignition and connects to the crank case. I don't have that piece on mine. Is that a separate piece from the airbox?
