I would have the hose exit through the foot well like most guys do including me. I wouldn't want the oily residue under the hood that will eventually come and the smell of hot oil while riding.Anyone noticed how much vapor comes out of the hose at 3/4 or full throttle by any chance? I have my bypass going under the engine on top of oil filter access door. Belly pan stayed relatively clean at the end of the season as I keep my oil level in the middle.
But I wonder if under full throttle in throws so much hot vapor under the engine...enough to make my belt slip? I busted my xs825 belt at only 3100km. I am all stock besides this belt and bypass mod.

Not much residue really for me. One whipe of the pan at the end of the season. No snow/frost to build up in the end of the hose in those -20C Quebec mornings so I figured win/win...

Any reason I still see some oil between the turbo and the intercooler? Pulled that tube and saw some oil.

So I did noticed some residue close to my belt on the bulkhead. Its either brake dust but probably oil vapor that made its way. So just a warning to anyone not to do bypass it under the engine.Not much residue really for me. One whipe of the pan at the end of the season.

I took a video and around my water pump itself it looks clean.
I'm trying to disconnect the ROV ,aka pressure check valve, without removing the tank. The negative spade connector is easy enough but I can't fit a wrench for the positive side. Anyone know where the wires go to? I can't seem to find it fused alone cause that would of been to easy.

The wire pulls off the end of it. Pull the wires and tape them up.

Mike is the guy without a hat above the handlebars. Dennis Lawler the owner of EGT is the man in white. He sponsored Kenny Bernstein and I both. This was a picture of just my team, but we also took pictures in the winners circle with Kenny Bernstein and the Budweiser King Top-Fuel team in the winners circle as we both won at Brainerd this year, EGT sponsored us both. It was very special for me as it was the last year Kenny drove the Budweiser Top-Fuel car.

I had lunch with Kenny Bernstein at Maple Grove the year he became the first drag racer to exceed 300 mph. That was a great year for drag racing. Kenny is a really great guy to know. Great picture, thanks for sharing!Mike is the guy without a hat above the handlebars. Dennis Lawler the owner of EGT is the man in white. He sponsored Kenny Bernstein and I both.
