Hi, I was just cleaning my bike, and noticed the thicker tube which comes out by the side stand isn't connected. I also noticed a smaller tube tucked behind the faring is disconnected and blocked off. Any ideas? I thought it was maybe something to do with the pair valve? I've only had the bike a couple of months and haven't really done anything to it myself. It has a full Micron Serpent, exhaust valve disabled(cables disconnected but servo still in place), and I presume a O2 sensor eliminator(cos of the full pipe). All seems to run fine, any help much appreciated. Cheers.
These are how and where they are meant to be from what I believe. Same on mine. Someone with more 'know' will be along shortly to confirm this
Side stand is the overflow for coolent bottle I believe The blocked off pipe are probably vac pipes to the air box flap controls. I reconnected mine and it ran smoother and quieter, they join from either side on a T piece under dials and then connect to a unit 4 inch away that controls it all.
The thicker pipe is part of the fuel tank breather/overflow system,the exact same thing was wrong with mine,don't think it was connected properly from when bike was new. If you lift the front of the tank up you will see the elbow joint where it's supposed to be fitted. http://1000rr.co.uk/threads/loose-hose.19516/
