danzley0 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelum Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danzley0 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted July 12, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2011 Dan you could send a message to the ebay seller mentioned, ask if they will list more soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 12, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
