Just been struggling to get my airbox back on without success  :tickedoff: Have another go tomorrow.  ;)

Whilst I was in the area I found two pipes going nowhere coming off the union between carbs 4 & 6 and 3 & 5 as indicated in the photo below. I have looked in the manual and can't find what they are for. Does anyone know?  ???

Well, if your fuel lines are connected, those are the air tubes that normally are rotated towards the inside with a line from each bank routed to the rear stay and simply stuck in a 2 hole plate to secure them. They are open lines.

Yep that's the ones I just wondered what they did with the open pipes?

Colin,
When one of your floats stick in the open position fuel will run out of the tubes. TXWolfman just had that happen to him this week. ~TJ


Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
