Fuelmoto A/C question
Fuelmoto A/C question
I have the fuelmoto a/c on my bike, I am running it without the football. I noticed the filter turning white today, so I pulled it off to re-oil it. I noticed a little motor oil accumulating toward the bottom of the filter, it seems like it is coming up through the throttle body, is this normal, or is there something I can do to cut down on it. my banjo bolts look dry.....

If the Fuelmoto is anything like the SE backing plate, then it should have two little holes that route into behind the filter. These are where the oil gets sucked back into your intake. It's normal. However, you can plug the holes and reroute the breathers such as I did and run it to the ground. You also should be running 3.5 qts of oil instead of 4 to prevent excessive blow by. You will usually see it after a long ride.

In the first attachment you can see the little holes where I tapped them and then inserted set screws with red loctite to block them off. In the second one you can see where I drilled the breather bolt stand-offs and used fittings to attach the oil lines. Then you can see at the bottom of the pic that it goes to a tee fitting and then down to the ground. In the third attachment you can see the tee fitting and how I attached a rubber and chrome clamp to a lifter cover bolt and routed the hose around and behind the exhaust.

This is the '07 version, which I think is different than later models. Arrows point to oil channels that place the oil at the velocity stack to be sucked in instead of dripped onto the filter element. It works, as there's no more barfing on the right side of the bike as before.
