449/511 Breather hose mod

Why did they pass this thing across the assy lines with a jacked up breather setup?

Because the Husqvarna 449/511 is a BMW product and BMW is not a off road motorcycle manufacture...

Well i maintain my bikes well but I cant promise it will be a stress free life haha

I called ZipTy today and wanted a drain plug with a hose barb to match the size of the breather hose.... Kid never called me back on my custom request. Out of the XF too . Hook me up Tinken

I can't find these in metric sizes...

Sorry about that. I talked to Danny and he hadn't called you back because he didn't have an answer from Ty as of yet and was going to return your call the following day.

I'll be at the shop late tomorrow. I think that oil cap is 24.95, might be less. I know it's not on the website yet, but they have a whole box full of them. I will take a picture tomorrow and add it to the Zip-Ty website so you can just order one. You can get the brass fitting I used at Home Depot.

A lot of people buy that coolant gallons at a time, all the factory teams run it. I will see what the lead time on that is for you.

That's an AN fitting, wont fit the oil drain plug.

And why do you want to barb fit a drain plug??

I believe he wishes to return oil back to the crank case.

Ok so maybe i missed something. You want to run a drain plug with a barb into a tapped hole in the valve cover? Running a drain plug at the bottom of the crankcase with a barb fitting was making me wonder what the eff was the idea behind that haha!
What kind of clearance is there under that valve cover? That seems like a super easy fix. Is it magnesium or aluminum?

no? I think there are several different projects going on in the thread. You will have to go back to the beginning of the thread on that one.

ZipTy will be doing the valve cover mod, there is 0 clearance under the valve cover. I'll try to get TY to do an exchange program since the valve covers are so expensive, or you can pay a core fee.

ha ha ! The drain plug with a barb is for me to run a test with and if it works out I am going to build a dry sump that will hold a quart.

Think I'm just going to suff a hose in the drain hole for now, should be good.

Ahhhh ok

How are you going to pump the oil up to your reserve tank?

Crank case pressure, the center fugue effect the tranny puts on the oil will in theory push it in there , also some will get in there from the case breather.

I will video the test and post if it's a success ! Lol
