is this a hose air breather?

There is one bike!
Kawasaki zx636
If you wheelie those bastids much past 45°...oil comes pouring out...ask me how I found that out, lol
Doing an 11 o'clock for about a quarter mile on my friend's bike, with him and several others watching, it was almost vertical, and I was just cruising about 40-50mph, about a hundred feet before I passed them, I went up in smoke, literally, lmao, I turned and saw that the bike and I were engulfed, like somebody hosed off Ghost Rider, lol.
Me, not to be deturred, gave it the old "F it", if I'm buying a motor I'm getting my money's worth, and preceded on another quarter mile(stunt spot has a half mile staight, and smoke hit just before midway, I wondered what they were pointing at before I saw and smelled the burning oil, lol)
I turned and rode the bike back to find it fine, minus oil all over the back tire and exhaust(which caused the smoke).
The site glass had plenty in it too.
Long story short, if you tip them back, they puke oil out through their p.a.i.r
I messaged Tony Carbaholl and he told me about those bikes needing catch cans, as he had stunted them, and new guys that had them.
Some good laughs, a good burnout to get the oil off, and all was well!

Like the SV650. If you wheelie those too high for too long you'll starve the front cylinder of oil and lock up the engine. That's weird about the 636 though. You see a lot of stunt riders use those as stunt show bikes. They must've figured out how to keep the oil in the engine.

Nope, all the 636's are using catch cans.
And yes, sv650's are bad for wheelies and will starve the front cylinder of oil, but not from leaking, but the oil pump can't push the oil there with the engjne tilted back.

Smog related equipment depending on model / flavor bike is 8 ounces to over 2 lb . Not only can one save weight it reduces time to remove valve cover for services , and inspection .
Also purchasing block - off plates can be avoided on many modes by tapping the four ports with a M-8 x 1.25 pitch bottom tap then loctite in a allen screw 12 mm long M8 x 1.25
I've gt a good friend who produces a product called No Flows for the ZRX1100 / 1200 and ZX based engines that replaces the four dowel pins in the head with solid alum pins that fill the
ports so you dont have to tap the valve cover .

This thread hopefully answered @DING 's question but it sure took the long way around...

I have found my vent to be located in the factory location and it hasn't caused me one bit of grief in being there.....

If it were me, I'd leave it where it was supposed to be and call it a day, then focus on something else.

I certainly wouldn't route it in the location depicted in the picture.....

was a little busy recently, thanks everyone who answered my question.
