they dont go anywhere... there is a vacuum on the the block that needs blocking or attaching to scottoiler, a big breather on the gearbox which needs to go to atmosphere along with carb ones

I believe no4 is part of the AIS system but I'm not absolutely certain, I completly removed the AIS system on mine, the bolt to the right is the cam chain tensioner

Cheers
David

Hi, This is exactly what i've been looking for, but can someone please clear a couple of other things up- My engine breather is under the the middle of the carbs not on the end, is this significant? and if so does it still need blocking off? also, the pipe above number 3, mines dosen't have thast plastic bit on it? what is that for and what am I supposed to do with it?

there are also 3 pipes that are coming up the left hand side of the engine ( as if you were sitting on the bike ) i see one of them is attatched in picture 3, just to the right of the engine breather, where do the other two go? one has what looks like a built in filter of some sort? sorry for all the questions, I just don't know where i'm supposed to put everything!

thanks

Nick

I believe no4 is part of the AIS system but I'm not absolutely certain


Just to clear up, no4 is not the AIS system, the AIS is on the back of the engine directly above the oil filter, it has four pipes leading to each of the exhaust ports as below

As for no4 I'm sure thats the carb vent hose holder box as below, as R1mini said the cam chain tensioner attaches using the two holes on the furthest right

Posted Image

Carb vent hose with all the pipes attached

Sorry guys I'm not sure where the ends of the above hoses attach to, I didn't get a carb with mine and I got a load of bits in a separate box.

Hopefully the above might help a bit

:D
