Replace the OEM breather and box to keep you out of the hospital.

Or extend the K&N filter with a much longer hose out back to the tail section. If the crankcase should puke it will puke well behind the rear wheel. No breather will make a difference at the angle and the rpm your pulling your wheelies at. Keep an eye on your oil level if you value your bike......

Ok, so a couple years back I had the bright idea I would clean up my engine and clear out everything that wasn't "needed" (or the parts I assumed weren't...). So I did the noob thing and got the whole K&N crankcase breather kit going and got rid of the emissions deal that circulates it back to the airbox.

I was under the impression that the one-way valve on the 2000 and newer crankcase breathers was up to par and sufficient for this.

Well, nowadays I'm lofting wheelies for a pretty good distance, and almost everytime I take her out (pretty much daily). I haven't had the oil starvation light come on, but I've been noticing the oil leak lightly out of the breather. I finally had a day that it just dumped enough to where my bike was smoking at the light, and it had spit out an unnerving amount onto the right side of my rear tire.

So I'm wondering if you guru's think the nichol's crankcase breather is sufficient - with consideration that I'll most likely continue to loft the front wheel (I'm hooked!) - or should I search for another one of the OEM pieces I had originally removed (can't find my old one after succesive moves...)???
