January 21, 20196 yr Author Hi drewpy I did think that but if it’s not connected it will keep running fluid out I thought I took a picture ?
January 21, 20196 yr Hi drewpy I did think that but if it’s not connected it will keep running fluid out I thought I took a picture [emoji2962]Whereabouts does it go to on the rad? Does it attach underneath the filler cap?Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
January 21, 20196 yr Author No the filler is a separate piece. The pipe I’m on about is just underneath the top hose on the rad Edited January 21, 20196 yr by David pittaway Wrong
January 21, 20196 yr No the filler is a separate piece. The pipe I’m on about is just underneath the top hose on the rad Should it connect to the carbs? Could be a warming hose, or the oil cooler if it has one?Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
January 21, 20196 yr Looks like it passes over the carbs and under the tank, so maybe connect onto the carbs at the rear perhaps/
January 21, 20196 yr Author Cheers bud I’ll have to take a look I thought it might have somthing in the manual but no such luck
January 21, 20196 yr From doing some googling, definitely appears to be for carb warming. You could disconnect both and blank them off. Unless you live in Alaska I can't see carb icing being a problem.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
January 22, 20196 yr Moderator I did think carb, but the browser had a fit and wouldn't let me post. As its the works PC sometimes the photo doesn't appear.
January 22, 20196 yr Carb icing can occur at any time regardless of the outside temp, if you have the fittings for it then use it as it is usually only fitted to bikes that have been prone to it. This can also operate as an extra kind of preheater to help the bike run in cold morning starts, reduces the need for long runs on choke.
January 26, 20196 yr Moderator Warm days it won't happen. I have taken the heater circuit of my tdr with no issues unless there is really cold air. I had a 350 that was sensitive to ice. My DT is too but only when it's really cold.
January 26, 20196 yr I know my DT has it, mines still in use but I know plenty of people who don't bother with it without any issuesSent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
January 30, 20196 yr Aye, it's carb warmer, goes onto little steel pipe in-between carbs 3+4 (right hand side). The jetting you will just have to play around with it untill you get it right. Start from standard jetting and go from there.
