Freestyle RRP breather tube technique?

[SmittySX]

This is the 3rd time in the last 2 weeks I'll be installing (Or in this case fixing) a set of RRP breather tubes. Needless to say it's a struggle every time. I HATE IT. I feel silly asking this on what seems to be an easy task but, do any of you have an easy technique on getting the breather tubes into the RRP pole tubes? How far up the handle pole tube do you put the breather? I've been going about 4 inches and it takes about an hour; a little sweat, and about 736 cuss words...

They're the same size as the tubes themselves and I don't think it needs to go up the tube. I just butted mine up to the tube. A little water may get down there from time to time, but that's okay. I wouldn't sweat it.

I always have good luck twisting them in like a screw. But I also used shop vac hose instead of the RRP hose.

They are not supposed to fit into the pole tubes.

Twist them in an I put them in about three inches

They are not supposed to fit into the pole tubes.

Then why even have breather tubes..? It seems silly to leave them like this.

 

[CrazyJoesRacing]

Leave the tubes out put the breather tubes in an then the aluminum tubes in

Get them up in there, butt them up against the long tubes.

I figured out a sick technique last time i had my pole apart. I found an old spring puller for motorcycle exhaust. Its basically a rod with a hook on the end. With your pole base assembled and pole tubes off, just reach the spring puller down and grab onto the breather tubes. Itll hook onto the tubes right under the metal coil of the tube. Pull that sht thru in 2secs and never fight with that bs again.

Slit the first inch and a half to rolll over itself, lots of lube and beer, blunt or broken flat blade screwdriver to help push

Use smaller tubes

Soapy water does wonders as well.

if the aluminum tubes are all the way to the bottom you're out. if they are up close to the viewing windows you can get them to stay in there nicely and they don't fall out if you zip tie at pole brkt

The last few times I installed them I used a heat gun to warm them up and it made it so much easier! I was kicking myself for not thinking of that earlier.

yea, the tube ends need to be right at the windows so the breathers can be pushed up to there. a lot easier with no cables and gas tank and twist them in from the engine compartment. that's how I just did it on a evo i'm building. harder to get the cables thru there but at least the breathers are in there correctly.

Appreciate all the replies.

I just did this on my ninja. Breather tubes 4" inside RRP pole tubes and RRP pole tubes bottomed out on the windows... Will be assembling the pole on this xfr tomorrow.

try doing it with a pole spring took 3 of us !and a lot of mf ers!

Ended up installing the RRP pole tubes just below the window in the pole and butting up the breathers to the ends of the poles.. They seem pretty solid?
