oil in cyl and air box
Hello all and thanks in advance. A buddy of mine has a 2004YZFR6 ( I know not a kawi) and it died on him after a extended period of long wheelies after it died he tried to restart no luck engine locked up.
So now it in my garage being pulled apart.
1st thing i noticed lots of oil in air box 1/2 quart or more. 2nd thing cyl #4 full of oil ( found out why locked up...... hydro locked)
After pulling all plugs will turn over no problem. So my question finnally is this what would cause all this oil to get loaded up in the cyl. and air box.
I am hoping someone here has had a friend or seen a thread somewhere that may help me out or a mod that will eliminate this from happening again.
Thank again
Scott

We have a winner!!! .... Do to the placment of the breather tube on this engine when you stand it up for a wheelie the oil can get sucked up the breather tube into the air box . So when you come down from the wheelie (the way the air box is designed) all that oil is sucked into cyl. #4 and the engine hydro locks.
The fix..... run a breather line up the frame rail to a high point add a filter and no more problems.

another quick fix is to keep all the wheels on the ground like Yamadog designed the motor to do, but than again if we didnt have handfulls of billy Bad Azzes, then alot of us would be out a job, +1 to scat just re route the line

Off topic some, will be rerouting the line and adding a filter/cannister on the 10r. A cannister better? I may run both. Placement is the next issue. haha, no "Billy Bad Azz" here.
