Opinions on type of crankcase vent hose.
Venting to atmosphere. And the space inside the aircleaner is tight. So heavy, stiff hose won't work very well. Motion Pro sells a premium quality tygon fuel line that reviewers said they loved because it was hard to kink. Tygon doesn't have a very high temp rating in general. 170 degrees. Guessing the Motion Pro stuff is a little better. Better be, its expensive. Think that hose would be ok to use

Don't do it. It's illegal and viloates Federal law. By posting, you are basically saying you are breaking the law. I see the VA state Inspection check this.
The little vent gas drawn into intake is just air. The oil is too heavy and falls out. That crud you see behind the butterfly is evaporated gas that is left by injectors since unless your bike is throttle by wire, the last shot by them is left in there.
Don't fall for thoes few tin men who would sell their soul for a $$.

People have been venting their breathers to atmosphere for over 30 years, how many have been tracked down by the VA state Inspection people?

Dan, part of VA State inspection is vehicles having their emission controls. Depending on area, they even check tailpipe emissions. Here on the coast, only they are there. They ensure the vent lines go in the back cover..the cat is on the exhaust of our cars..etc.
My other statement to leave it alone is just based on your morals of honor for the rules for the good of all.
If that is absurd, so be it. Still love you..

I also live in Va. Its only a couple of counties that check emissions. And I would never live in them anyway. So I'm good.

Lol. I spent 19 years in Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach and Norfolk) and never had them checkcrank case vents. Lights, horn, brakes, engine for obvious leaks, and CE light. October 3, 2016 was my last day there....

a little perspective here...............motorcycles in the US contribute no measurable problem in emissions. they were included in the laws passed to limit cars and trucks. if every two wheeled vehicle in the US was measurable, no difference would be noticed. If u need to vent to atmosphere, vent to atmosphere.
