Oil separator, major problem!

[YamahaTim]

Thanks Tim I'll pull it off in the next few days and check it out. Is there any surprises when I take the hoses off? Will oil be coming out of anything?

No, just make sure you clean it out really good with a good cleaner like break clean. And put the hoses on the same way...lol it's super easy to do. But can ruin your day if you don't. It almost seems like you can do it without taking off that frustrating hood. Let it dry out good as well!

We should have this linked to the facts sticky... If no fix is released for this from the dealer it'll have to be a part of our routine maintenance

Thanks Tim, it may or may not have gotten done when they did the turbo but I'll certainly check into it!

I will put this into facts sticky. Anyone want to write up a tutorial with pics?

 

[Studroes144]

Both turbo and n/a would be helpful!

 

[viipeR]

I'm willing to write up the tutorial unless someone else has before I return home next week

I'll take a look at mine tonight and if it's something I decide to tackle I'll be sure to take pics, this is on an mpi turbo viper

It's right above the belt guard by the support beam.

I looked at it last night. Didn't get a chance to pull it off but I'm still going to try here in the near future. Tim, how does it actually come apart? I can't see anything on the front side, is there some type of fasteners on the back side?

Might have to take the hood off. Then pull the hoses from it. I'm not sure how it's held in there. Cause for the turbo it had to be moved. So I don't think there will be any kind of mount for it, maybe zip tie or something.

Need a picture of this thing. Keep forgetting to look at this

I can't find my picture of it. I can go to my dealer and take a picture of it. I had it, but I can't find it.

 

[Studroes144]

Ya it doesn't look like there is any type of mount. I can see where it splits in the middle, just curious what holds the 2 pieces together?

This is with the turbo. The black box, and the vent hose runs to the other side above the turbo...

I just think they hold together. Glue what ever, they won't separate when you take it out.
