Took pictures of my breather line this weekend. The file size exceeds Bad Webs limits. When I figure out how to reduce them, I'll post. |

I would personally avoid the pneumatic line filters. I tried one on mine and got almost zero residue, when without the filter I was getting much more. Those things are HARD to blow through! I don't think they provide enough airflow to work properly in our breather lines.
I ran mine just like Poppinsexz's pics above, but terminated it with a small $10 aftermarket air filter from AutoZone. I positioned it a little lower, so that the filter fits right into the hole in the chin fairing, and it drips directly onto the front of the muffler. A little messy, but no one sees it, and it's not enough to make any spots in the garage.

All kinds of stuff blows out of mine. Before installing, I had no problem blowing through the filter. Only very slight resistance.
Lungs of young athletes in good condition can develop about 1 PSI. For the rest of its much less. |

Mmcn49, I actually think it's considerably higher. I've seen some posts on the NEt about people measuring nearly 16 psi, though they could be lying. I DO know that I saw Bill Nye the Science Guy do a human suction test that registered around 8 psi.

Check it out on the medical sites. Look for what an MD, Physical or Respiratory Therapist says.
Human lungs may be able to pull a higher vacuum, (I don’t know if that’s true or not) but against resistance, (blow or exhale) I believe it’s about 1 PSI for a top athlete.
Did a quick google and found this site. He claims 16 cm H20, (16 centimeters of water is about .23 PSI) for a young person.
Just went down to the shop and grabbed an exhaust muffler from stock. There is almost no resistance when I blow through it.
Your's must have been plugged up or defective.

Picture 1A shows the 3/8" breather hose coming out of the air box next to the transmission breather hose.
Picture 2B shows the hose going down next to the shock.
Picture 3C is a side view showing the breather hose running down towards the muffler.
Picture 4D shows the 3/8" hose where it is slid into the 5/8" or 3/4" sleeve.
The pneumatic exhaust filter is attached to the 3/8" hose with a hose barb fitting at this point.
The 5/8" or 3/4" sleeve covers the filter and is slid onto the 3/8" hose. Another 3/8" hose is slid into the other end of the sleeve.
There is a very tight fit between the 3/8" hose and sleeve. The sleeve's OD is wider than the filters OD.
The hose is tie wrapped to the nylon gasoline vent line.
Picture 5E shows the hose at the muffler. You can see where its tie wrapped to the foot peg.
Picture 6F shows the hose at the muffler. The hose end is tie wrapped to an oil line.
