It it fine to run my engine vents down by the frame instead of in my airbox? Can I just run the hoses down by the frame without some sort of filter or anything on them? It only sees an MX track and oil is changed after every race or couple practices.

I guess it would be fine, but you run the risk of a piece of mud or dirt clogging it up. It's probably unlikely, but there's still that chance that a tiny piece of dirt get kicked up straight into the tube.

doesnt one go under the gas tank?
and the other you can put in between the swingarm and frame or where ever you want.

Heres how I ended up running mine. I teed them together than ran it by my master cylinder to the ground on the other side of the swingarm. It's tied off so it will stay out of the way of the chain.

You ran the the big wire that goes from your stator to the harness the wrong way.
Its not supposed to go up over the gas tank shield, it is supposed to follow the clutch cable up over the radiator into the hood area.

That is why it looks all kinked coming out of ur stator cover.
Not that it really matters, it works fine like that obviously, just figured I'd let you know.

It's supposed to ad 3hp if you run it over the tank. Haha thanks man.
