Hi guys, I'm sure this topic is some in here but couldn't find it so asking again.

What is the butter fly on the intake for? I saw some where that this gets removed and blocked off? Does this help power or economy or what's the go here?
Also are there any catch tanks for the rocker cover breather that one can buy and fit easily? I'm not too keen to hang a pipe on the road like peeps do cause I have a few motor cycles and don't want slip on intentional oil spils when wet.........

Thanks in advance.

have a look on trademe for an oild catch can, heaps there,

and the thing your talking about is part of the egr system, there was a thread about 2 weeks ago about blocking it off.

There ya go.

As for the rocker vent, I run mine into the exhaust, it'll burn anything that it blows into there...

What sorta bikes ya got?

the oil only blows out of the breather in large amounts when the rocker shaft is worn, i replaced the one in my safari last year and was only about $500 so the 4 cyliners should be less, means you can actually set your tappets correctly too.
just pull the vacuum hose off the egr and block the hose up, save you having lagging, smoking issues from the egr
