So it melted through and I cut it. Now I want to zip tie it to the exhaust servo cable. Any harm? Does it NEED to be that long and wrapped through the bike's innards Thanks for your time. | ||

I experimented with my tranny vent routing on my X1 and found that it would drip unless it's routed up high as it was from the factory. (all the way back in the tail) Unlike the crank breather that has one way valves to block oil from re-entering the engine, the tranny vent will seemingly allow the juice to re-enter. The downside of this is that the end of the vent must be protected from rain or road contamination. I never bothered to follow my 2008 uly's vent tube but would guess that it also winds its way far back and as high as possible like my X1 has. | ||

The transmission isn't (supposed to be) under pressure like the crankcase is, so the function of that hose is only to allow for expansion and contraction of air due to temperature changes. You are going to want that opening protected from water entry, as the clutch bearing is vulnerable to water. Definitely check the Primary lube more often if you're not going to fix it right away. A suggestion i got was to put in a barb fitting where you cut the burned hose out, so that more hose can be attached and routed where you want it. When I finally got around to fixing mine, I ziptied it to the oil lines first, then routed it normally. I had to have the motor rotated for hand clearance reasons to do it. |
