Latest mods...

After listening to warnings about removing the crankcase breather box and airbox and fitting pod filters, I did it anyway!   Grin  What the hell...its all reversible, and I don't routinely use all the power that my S4R makes anyway.  Breather box removal requires making a small bracket for bolting up the voltage regulator. 

With some help from Superjohn (thanks!!), I also replaced the left-side throttle body bracket with a home-made one which I fashioned from aluminium and polished a bit.  Its fitment required removing the TPS, and I used the newly acquired VDST software to reset the TPS. 

In addition, I relocated the starter solenoid (mounted where the right-hand post for the airbox was) and trimmed the bracket that held the solenoid --  cleaning up the look on the right side.

After everything was bolted up, it fired up on the first push of the starter button!!   Cheesy

By the way, the bike runs great!  I can't tell that there's a power loss, and that induction sound!!!  WOW!!

Now to check the plugs and consider a PCIII and custom map.   coffee

Can you look at your bike at night with a light behind you and see any blowby gasses from the crank case breather?

Chchadder had that happen on his bike. and it was annoying to see steam blowing out in traffic.

Well, I looked behind me in daylight and saw no gases coming from the crankcase breather filter. 

I took it on a short (30 mile) ride this morning and saw no gases, or oil coming from the filter.

i wonder if that was just condensation boiling off when the bike first warms up?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I have seen many people with the filter mounted strait on the breather with no problems at all. I put an STM race breather on that has no reed valve and a 1" rather than 3/4" opening and also got rid of the breather box. I have small filter on the end of all the plumbing and it has never showed signs of oil on it after many miles.

I would say not , the bike was well up into 280degrees and had been ridden for atleast 2 hours....

Out of curiosity, why would you be worried about power LOSS?  Thought these were to make power?
