I can't remember exactly where that vacuum chamber vent hose goes to, but I think it's to the carb to allow air in when the CV slide moves up via vacuum.....the OTHER side of the diaphram. So, I don't think you want oil from the crankcase getting potentially pulled in there. Might want to keep 'em separate. I'll look at mine a bit later and check back here this evening.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #197420 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow!

If you're talking about hooking up a hose from a T to either of these (yellow circles) I wouldn't. You don't want to mess up the pressure going to either of them. If you do the bike won't run right. The top one is the diaphram vent and the bottom is the float bowl vent. The top one never gets anything hooked to it. The bottom one you could run a short hose off of if you want (no filter on the end) but a lot of people don't hook anything to it at all. If memory serves on the stock air box when the hose is run off of the float bowl vent to the air box it isn't running into the filtered part of the box. It just hooks up to a box on the outside. Could be wrong about that though. My .0002 cents anywho. .   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #197440 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3510 Re:Ohhhh my god...super easy and cheap spectre intake 8 Years, 9 Months ago   Okay... So there's no need to hook either one of those hoses up to anything, then?   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #197441 noxqsays (User) Why did I move to FL from MI? FL seemed warmer. Expert Boarder Posts: 410 Re:Ohhhh my god...super easy and cheap spectre intake 8 Years, 9 Months ago   I was just at PepBoys getting a new breather filter for my crankcase ventilation and they were right next to all of these parts referenced earlier. I see how easy it would be to come up with something really cheaply. To bad I spent all that money already on my Kury Twin V air box.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #197443 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Ohhhh my god...super easy and cheap spectre intake 8 Years, 9 Months ago   Frank_W wrote: Okay...

There isn't anything hooked up to the open end of the filter looking doodad. The float bowl vent can be left with nothing on it or a short piece of hose open to the air if you want.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #197446 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3510 Re:Ohhhh my god...super easy and cheap spectre intake 8 Years, 9 Months ago   Oh man... This is great, Musky. Thanks! The top one, I'm just going to take it off. It's a 2" long piece of tubing that's merely slip-fit onto the carburetor. The other hose... Not sure what I want to do with it, just yet. (Er... In your pic, it would be the lower of the two hoses that I'm going to remove.)   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/05/22 13:27 By Frank_W.   My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #197451 RoadieSL (User) 2004 Midnight Star Expert Boarder Posts: 465 Re:Ohhhh my god...super easy and cheap spectre intake 8 Years, 9 Months ago   Musky wrote: Frank_W wrote: I'm thinking of "T"ing them both, and running them into the little K&N style filter.

Musky, My R* is from California I wish it wasn't but it is I have removed all the AIS but their is still a part that is called a surge tank on the left side behind the fuel pump and there is a hose from that which connect to the lower port on you picture could I remove the surge tank and all the hoses to it I am not sure Do you know what the surge tank is for? thanks   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #197454 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Ohhhh my god...super easy and cheap spectre intake 8 Years, 9 Months ago   RoadieSL wrote: Musky, My R* is from California I wish it wasn't but it is I have removed all the AIS but their is still a part that is called a surge tank on the left side behind the fuel pump and there is a hose from that which connect to the lower port on you picture could I remove the surge tank and all the hoses to it I am not sure Do you know what the surge tank is for? thanks I don't know about all the California stuff.

AIS removal I followed this when I removed the AIS but it doesn't say anything about the surge tank and it hoses either I guess they are still needed for something thanks   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
