Posted July 11, 201113 yr the pipe that connects to the bottom of the carb is cracked a yamaha dealer says the part is £99.00 plus £61.00 to fit it as far as i can tell this is a plastic tube with 2 attachments for what look like fuel pipes and 3 bigger attachments 1 for each of the 2 cylinders and a connection to the carb is there any way i can get a cheaper version of it by the way it looks like i have to take off the tank all the hoses the air intakes and possible the exhaust can anyone advise me?

Yuo could try places like Wemoto, but even if they were able to supply, i reckon the price will be similar. Try bike breakers, and ebay
July 11, 201113 yr Author i think its air its the really thick tube between the 2 the carbs sit ontop of it
July 11, 201113 yr Author will take photo tomorrow but its the tube that the carb attaches to the carb sits ontop of it and there is 2 small what look like air lines and it links the 2 cylinders together
July 12, 201113 yr He's referring to this I guess. I have seen cheaper versions of this on ebay. However, by some means if you could make a metal version of it, it will last longer..I dont see a reason why Yamaha has put a plastic one instead of a lasting metal one.. Mine is getting cracks too I think I will have to buy one.

July 12, 201113 yr Author all 5 of them inlets have gone ive been told this is made of rubber/ plastic and is apparently not serviceable although it doesnt expand or shrink so i was thinking coat it in chemical metal do the jubilee clips up before it dries and see how it goes although apparently it will start mis firing before you have a huge problem
July 12, 201113 yr Moderator Dan you could send a message to the ebay seller mentioned, ask if they will list more soon?
July 12, 201113 yr Moderator Dan you could send a message to the ebay seller mentioned, ask if they will list more soon? I would do the same. Until then I would look at using a soft rubber specialist glue. If it leaks the bike will run lean. It does seem to say that it is a shared part with the 250 so this may be worth looking at LINKY
July 17, 201113 yr Author part ordered ebay seller listed 5 more 1 left if anyone needs one for a spare
July 22, 201113 yr Author inlet manifold arrived today fits perfectly recommend this to anyone with a virago/dragstar
