[QUOTE="pdee4t, post: 180509, member: 1594"] hey guys. took the bike for another ride. went through some pretty deep water crossings and I got no water in the engine whatsoever. So my method does work quite well. I have another question though. As I am running to one way valves, I routed a 'T' piece at exactly 3 inches up from my crankcase vent hose, then connected 1 of the valves onto that 'T' piece with another hose. The other valve comes off the side/middle part of that 'T' piece. However, when I go to crank the bike, slowly, using the e-starter, I can hear a sound of air coming from the valve or from the line just below the valve that is connected to the 'T' piece and into the bottom of the valve. Then after that it ends up hissing out of the end of the breather hose which is vented to the atmosphere. What would that be? I had thought it might've been that it's letting out all that compressed air inside the motor or something....but only 1 of the valves does it. It also only happens at slow cranking speeds. When the bike is running, it's ok. The bike runs and idles fine. I can also confirm that the valve is working correctly as I blew into the both sides, and I can feel air escaping out 1 side of it, but not the other, so the valve is definitely working. None of the vent lines are blocked or kinked either. Image below shows the way I have it set up. It's coming from the hose just below the silver valve. Then when I move the hose a bit and pull on it, the sound of the air from that area stops...and still comes out the end of the breather hose like normal. It's a weird one.
