evac question

[DAGE]

I was out yesterday and noticed the belt was slipping, I thought it was my secondary that wasn't tight enough until it got really bad, when I opened the hood and looked at the clutches they were covered in oil, I assume the evac hose froze up and blew oil all over the place, I've read that the oil comes from the valve cover gasket but my question is do I need to replace that gasket now or can I just unfreeze the hose and keep riding

The rubber valve cover gaskets are reuseable. I wouldn't bother replacing it. If you loop your evac hose upward over the filters condensation and water will not be able to get in there and freeze.

I just rerouted everything like this pic I found, I keep reading about a slit in one of the hoses should I put one in mine, if so which hose should have it

Yamaha's fix for RX1's that push oil is to put a slit in the hose as low as possible. The only thing I see that doing is making amess of your bellypan. Looping the hose up like in that picture will prevent to oil from travelling up due to gravity.

I left the slit in mine....until I noticed it was oiling the front of my engine compartment...and my primary. I've since sealed the slit and everything works fine.

My set-up came with a down spout on the T so that you can open a valve and let water out while it's warm...no idea if that's a god thing or not, but it works as far as I know. I did however remove that little silencer/air box that comes off the evac....would that affect anything?

Don't fill your dry sump up with too much oil,inbetween e and f is more than enough.
