Where is this pipe from?!??!

Post by [JP] » Sun Mar 04, 2007 5:47 pm

Well... today while doing the oil change and tightning the headsock I found this little pipe...which seemed to be disconnected?

Couldn´t find anything in the manual, but by the way it was bent I figured out that it might be long to the other bit where I connect it?

the pipe that was loose was the one with the red arrow...and all seemed to point that it should be connected to the bit with the blue arrow, this bit looks like it´s part of the frame, is this some breather that will drain through the frame tubes and to the floor??

btw.. this is on the left hand side of the bike...

Thanks!!

JP,
Yep, pretty sure you got that right: connects to the pipe on the frame. It is some sort of drain/breather pipe, but dunno what though: petrol overflow drain from the carbs. Can't remember without going in the garage to look and it's pi55ing it down here!

I think it's a breather, probably Mr Yamaha thought it a good idea to breath it into the frame, helps with corrosion resistance I guess.
