It is amazing what some people think. Then they express what they THINK as if it's the truth in the matter.... (carbon does increase compression! Like that's a good way to do it! ping ping knock knock hole in the piston)

This is another of those trow backs for 40 years ago. Not something that needs doing to modern bikes . But some will always try to pass off a OMG you have to fix this or doomsday your bike is going to blow . Only bikes I see going to hell are the ones they jack with.

Never said anything about doomsday or any thing of that sort, just pointed out what the crank breathers do when they are vented into the intake, will it ruin your motor? probably not, but it WILL cause carbon build up and eventually that can lead to pinging and other unwanted results. I would bet the farm that if H-D did not have to do this because of EPA regulations even they would say why put that **** back in the combustion chamber

When your head gasket blows because of carbon build up. Then you will know better

Sorry I'm not the Smart one arguing against the hundreds of engineering designers who have developed these engines for more than a hundred years.Im just agreeing with them and trying to get people not to listen to the self informed naysayers!

No man it's in Australia where the dog has got out and has killed/cats/dogs/rabbits /goanna's or small furry animals or it comes back and a badder being has near killed the fka ,so it's under the hose ya mongrel,.And then soon after your anger subsides you go kick it or yell at it a bit or administer stitching it up or take it to the vet or whatever.You guys have a version of this I'm sure.Dogs get out and try to kill schit.
But yea get under the house ya mongrel Quinny, bad Quinny. lol

Default my 114 fix

i ran two 3/8" fuel hose out of breather bolts and down thru two holes i drilled in the plastic a/c base. I bought two DW catch cans on fleabay. one sits in base between cylinders, the other sits at the base of the rear cylinder. every couple of thou miles, I unscrew and empty. works like a charm!
