    Will this mode be available to the public?
    Is this something someone with decent mechanical skills can install?
    Do you have the details on what exactly has to be taken apart?

    I am still breaking in my bike and do not track it, but I would like to preserve the longevity of the motor and ride it worry free. I currently have 40 miles on my bike and would like to install this as soon as possible (if it is reasonably priced that is).

    Feel free to PM me if you want to keep the responses private.

    Thanks for fixing out engines.

    On my 450r I have installed a fan kit of my own making. I used a Trail Teck in-line temp guage and that lets me know when to turn my fan on. On huge hill climbes i jus turn it on ahead of time and while everyone else gets really hot I might climb 15 degrees . the fans helps big time, but arent a cure all , its best to turn them on before a thermostat switch does it for you when trail / offroad/ extreme-offroad/ goat trails/ mud......

    Right now it is about about 3/4 up the sight glass and stays there all the time. Regardless i will be buying your (Ty) valve cover breather when ready.

    I have never had an overheat issue on my TE but ride in the NW where 85 is a hot day :>)

    Yesterdays 63 mile mudfest. I think I think I have someone of a higher power looking over my 511 :D (note rainbow)

    So this thread is huge and I am really lazy. When this breather mod is finished and available to the public, can you make a new thread (possibly sticky) with an explanation with pictures of how it works, installation, and where to get it?

    My mod is two part. There is a breather exit hole mod which reroutes hot gasses away from the torque limiter, this item will be out next week (depending on the anodizer company, could be additional time). The second part is the actual bottle which sits on the side of the cylinder which allows the 1150cc oil quantity and recirculation back to the crankcase. It should take another week or so depending on the anodizing. I can post a new thread with instructions, I will need Coffee's permission for sticky.

    Also, I will get CafeHusky members who have contributed in the thread or who post in the next coming weeks a gift code to receive a discount on the two items. :thumbsup:

    You da man Tinken! Hell I'd put off getting a seat concepts kit to do this. My ass will heal, but the motor won't!

    Thanks!
    But if it were me, I'd rather my butt was happy... The first thing I did after buying my 511 was drive down to Seat concepts and meet with the owners and have them make me a custom Tall seat.

    I've been conditioning myself to mentally block out monkey butt until I get home.
