the way I'm venting, the throttle body is only seeing a signal from the cases. The one way valve prevents outside air from being introduced. So, im not seeing any idle issues at all, but if there is an issue, I'll be the ECM will compensate.

Biggest engine they have ever made with teeny tiny plastic breathers.

I understand how you set the breathing up.. If you left the breather n the heads they should do the same thing. Running the front hose to the intake manifold should help the crankcase to pull a vacuum and lower pressure pulses in the crankcase which I already stated..

Might want to keep an eye on the tranny fluid level tho..

Max, the breathers are not sealing completely in some bikes.

Thanks, didn't know that.. Sound like the same old problem when HD introduced the plastic breathers to the TCs.

Do you have any data points concerning the oil pump like min. and max psi, 2k rpm steady state psi, idle psi, at what psi does it go into bypass and what is the running psi in bypass. Did they ship a pump curve with it? Do you have any idea what volume / gpm?

Thank You

Sorry, I honestly did not have time to make any pressure or flow measurements. I own a shop, and of course my bike always comes last,,,,so anytime I need to work on it, its always rushed and after hours

Did it recently start or has it always done it?
