Yamaha R1 5PW - pipe here?
GregMcN - 5/10/06 at 08:13 PM

There are a couple of black plastic connectors that swivel near the throttle bodies that look as if they should have a pipe between them but I can not find a picture anywhere to confirm - can anyone clarify?

Thanks Greg

Tried to post picture/sketch but failed - how do you do it? what formats?

I think they are vents for some chamber or other in the carbs. I have mine open and have had no trouble.

These bits?

I was told to leave them like that, the service manual shows nothing between them either.

leave them and turn them upside down

yep ok to leave or alternatively join together with a t and place in breather tank

Yep just join em up, this is what I did to mine, I intended to vent it into a catch tank but didnt bother in the end.
