I've been needing a new one of these for my 97 M900. Will this work?

If it is from a 620 - no. They are a different shape. Also... there's no coolant bottles for 900s or 620s - don't know what that sellers on about. That's part of the crankcase breather set up...
Are you sure? Its advertised as a coolant bottle. Mines cracked and leaking some sort of fluid.
Seriously, it wont fit.
Even if you try and use it as a crankcase breather.
Jokingly, make sure he throws in the prudpusperator valve, you'll need that too.
Without it, your muffler bearings will spin backwards, and we all know how badly that goes.
??? Huh?
He's messing with you. It's a blinker fluid reservoir.
And yes, we are sure it will not properly fit.
No I wasn't. Seriously the dealer wants like $200 bucks for this thing and I would much rather get the one on Ebay.

OK. :)
You may find one in the classifieds.
Or, shoot m9hundo a PM, he's likely got one.
Or you can ditch it and go with a K&N filter right on the breather. You loose some hoses and that box. You need to plug the hole in the airbox where the other end of that box leads too as part of the job.

That box just catches vapor from the crankcase breather. The leaking fluid only matters in that it means some un filtered air can get in though the breach and then into the case. That fluid's probably just a mix of oil and condensed water vapor.
Yeah I was just messin with y'all. My bad.
Jon ;D
i just cut mine up last week, could of donated it to you if you posted this earlier.
i cut my box up, fused the two nipples together then conneted the two tubed together.

Hey, i ve heard of a lot of people doing this... installing a filter on top of the breather and completely ditching "the box" and hoses. What are the impacts of this mod. I mean the filer would have to replaced every so often, right? Also what happens to all of the material (i don't know... hmmm, oil, vapor, etc) that goes through the breather? Any other thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Well the filters from K&n have a one MILLION mile warranty... You do need to clean them on occasion, but unless something crappy happens you don't need to replace it.
A potential down side is that if you wheely a lot you might get some of the over flow coming out that filter. But under normal circumstances only air, water vapor and nominal amount of oil vapor will come out.

Excellent thanks!!!
two things...
the M900 doesnt have any coolant. (620 doesnt either)
and that box is part of the emissions and system, and if memory serves it is an empty box
what is leaking...and from where?
if its oil you may need a breather valve
and if you do a K&N to replace all that suff...i recommend attaching it to the end of the existing tube and attaching it up on the frame rather than attached directly to the motor.
stays cleaner that way....
I just like that this board is nice enough, that there wasn't any real flaming of this.
Funny thread though :-D

If it is leaking, than it is either gas or oil. I would bet it is oil. The only other thing that it could be is water. If it is water you must have been ridding in some very heavy rain.
