    Question Caddmann Install Question......Vacuum Leak?

    I did the Caddmann mod about 2 weeks ago.....I am concerned about one thing though. It sounds like a have a vacuum leak. Is this the relief hose coming from the crankcase? And yes I did take the IC's out but I took one of the hoses and linked the two pipes together. Thanks Kebo

    The open element filter definately has a noticable 'suction' sound that you may be referring to.

    I'd say thats what your are hearing too.

    if you had a vacuum leak the idle would be very fast

    I love that sucking sound. It's the sound of horsepower. Noting in the world like it.

    If you had a vacuum leak, the bike wouldn't run worth crud, if at all.
