Vent hose kinks

I found a hose to a bottle that seems to be a vent for an auxiliary oil tank for turbo supply oil. This was wrapped with foil when taking the hose off I couldn’t even blow through it. I removed the foil and it was kinked bad. I will go grab a new hose tomorrow from the dealer but do have concern as if this vent is plugged what could be affected?

Ron this is just a thing.... this is a engineered kink. It acts like a regulated bypass

pressure just builds up to a point and will release.... all good!

I found a the same hose in garage from my Nytro days and replaced it with smaller with no kink, no chances. Now I have to see if my part comes in that I broke last weekend, the gauge cluster holder.

Sounds like a story?

So went through my sled with a fine tooth comb today under the hood wrapping everything that needed heat protection. This line was kinked on mine and I haven't rode mine yet. What I did was took off the heat shroud over the line and put some heat shrink wrap I had that would go over the line to stiffen up the hose where it kinks. I then put the heat wrap back on and cut 3/4" off the hose. Its to long and the way BRP has plumbed it is wrong. Shortening it up makes it run in a more natural line and it doesnt kink like the way it was. Hopefully it solves this issue
