    I too would be very interested in this product. Seems very logical for anyone looking to increase oil capacity which in turn means a few less oil changes for the commuter bike. Great idea and development. Considering most oil cooler kits i have seen for most bikes are around $200-$450 i would say anything under $300 and im in. Thanks for your time.

    I couldn't notice a change in the way it ran at all, the oil level in the tranny area seemed really high though.

    I notice a huge change. Its quieter, vibrates less and runs cooler.

    I had my bike on a jack stand with pull down tye straps in nots with 110+ db's facing into the garage with lots of chain slap going on.... Lol.
    Also the radiators never leaked on me before I leaned the idle out, think that makes it run hotter with a lean idle, no cool down time when tour off the throttle. Notice the radiator fluid on the ground :)

    Zipty should get their XF coolant in tomorrow or Monday. You'll need to fully drain, but you'll never overheat again.

    Ty usually gets crazy deals on machine work and anodizing, though we have to send our products out of California for anodizing now due to the organic dye used. I don't think the kit will be anywhere near as expensive as you just quoted. The breather itself has to be carefully designed so that it will not crack and can take racing abuse even though many of them won't be raced, because this is now a Zipty product, you can be assured it will be a very high quality product.

    Although I can't really recommend adding over the established 1150cc of oil the Kymco engine was designed to use, I believe that 1400cc (1.5 US Quarts) from my tests worked very well. Adding 1400cc of oil to a stock Kymco engine will definitely end up with a well oiled air filter, but after adding the new breather bottle, the engine should be fine.

    Very nice. I was actually disappointed because I was really hoping for animation ;-). I think you should redraw about 50x more, then make the animated pencil diagram...THEN it is worthy of YouTube lol.

    I think it should return to the air filter and not a external breather. You're gonna be in the middle of the desert on mount wallachapa sniffing those gas fumes. I know when I rerouted my gas tank vent and didnt get it far enough back, they made me loopy. :D

    This one should work too. with the oil return line routed under the clutch it should load up and block case gases from back tracking up the return line....... simpler than the donut too.
