question OIL+AIR BOX

**igor** · 05-31-2009, 01:51 PM

Today i mount off left panels for first time for garmin conection to batery. I notice that air box have a litlle oil outside. Why is that? Something wrong with engine?

That's pretty normal for a Spyder.

Yup - I used to get air in my oil box too!

Removed the box - installed race airflow system - no more problem!

Used to also. Changed to Royal Purple Max-Cycle Synthetic 10W40, no more oil drip on right side (nearly 5000 miles after oil change). I like that!

For what I can remember seeing on the forum the oil comes from crank case breather line, also remember seeing someone did a great mod to the breather line that did a way with oil going into the air box and I would love to do this mod as well but can't remember who did it and how it was done.

i am sorry igor.

does race airflow system help on low rpm range also? taking off from standing still?
i been working on a cold air intake but without any scientific way to configure them i am just shooting with my eyes closed and will have to be really lucky to find something right. i think i may just give up and buy the race air flow system. i spoke with ken and he said to try running without the top part of airbox and race system should be little bit quieter than that. i tried and i think i can live with it.

I bought the mini filter at Lowes but this is the same one I think.
