Since the filter just opens up to the air, does it really matter what size it is?

As long as you find a K&N filter you can clamp to the crankcase breather, wouldn't anything work?

Pretty much, yea. Just gotta make sure it fit's in there, and fits properly on the breather's outlet. i don't see why anything close wouldn't work...

From the emissions removal writeup on Ducati Suite http://ducatisuite.com/emissions.html

The filter is a 2" diameter K&N "Race Style" that goes directly over a 3/4" tube (the PCV tube), part number KNN-62-1360.

the breather tank, as I understand it, only contains vapor and oil mist, it's not circulating oil or anything. Some people report that sustained wheelies will cause it to puke oil.

I've also heard that sustained wheelies on ducatis will create oil starvation and eventually scatter the motor...

Looking for yet another thing to clean up the back of the bike, I purchased a TPO crankcase breather vent filter kit direct from TPO. I ride a 2008 Monster 695 but the kit fits all monsters. In fact, the instructions supplied with the kit were for an 848. The kit arrived in 3 days and was pretty simple to install. I would say that anyone could do it regardless of your wrenching experience. Here's what comes in the kit

You, Sir, are a legend. Within 15mins of finding this thread, I ordered the kit from TPO online.

I am sick to death of the rectifier cooking my testicles.

Step 1 (thanks to you): getting rid of the crankcase breather.
Step 2 moving that rectifier forward and away from me (with better airflow for cooling).

Should make the rides more enjoyable.

Thanks again!

Ranger 06, thank you for taking the time to take all the photos and post. I installed the crank case breather vent over the weekend, and your post helped a great deal!
