Missing overflow pipe

[vtec power]

need help .... i found my bike does nt hav overflow & vacuum pipe. And bike shop i can get it fixed at reasonable price? Or buy the pipes on my own & get is fixed.

[JbAtRaCeR]

Just go to any bikeshops that does S4 or if you know how to fix yourself just do it. Anyway how come yours dont have?. Without vaccum pipe,how you get the fuel in the carb?..Wierd...

[biting_point]

haha.. agreed with JbAtRaCeR.. it's the over folw pipes near the airbox oone right??

 

for me, i've not been connecting them since i bought the bike.. mine are 8yrs old and had already hardened.. any water that gets in the tankcap gets drained directly out onto the air box.. no issues at all..

 

just needa take care when pumping petrol, not too much to overflow...

 

if you insisted in changing.. can go try Unique tmr..

i am jz worri then when overflow , there is no proper pipe so nt such where the petrol will go to. Might lead to fire...lol

[hellsfury]

dun worry its a relatively simple job for the mechs.

[Ah Pek]

there is no proper pipe

 

Pipe?...no lah...it's just two rubber drainage tube..one large and the other small that is attached to two 'snout' under your tank. Your is missing because them mechanic always forgot to attached it back after putting back the tank. These two tubes run just long enough thru your frame and dangle just below the bike. Don't put also can lah...but over spill would get things messy. So..you can just buy the rubber tube or hose from any car spare part shop or look around the waste bin in some bike motodiam...sure got some unwanted rubber tub lying around.

 

Vaccum tube is the one that have one end attach to your pet **** and the other end to left side of the back (near top) engine block which has a snout like protrusion. If that tube is out..teh bike still can ride but just cannot idle. Sometime mech also forget that one till they notice bike can't idle.

[ShnHwA-]

mine also dun haf the overflow tube when i got the bike..sometimes pump too much den overflow..the petrol will flow out near the carb there..juz use water to rinse it b4 u go lohz..hehe

The big pipe is the overflow the small on is the breather tube. The overflow one is important,you dont want to get petrol/rainwater directly onto the wires under the tank.

Very true indeed. Just to add on, the breather tube is just as important. If its blocked...after 2-3km of riding and when have to stop for idle..it won't..wngine will suddenly run dead. When try to restart..it may but likely not..not until you leave the bike at rest for 5-10 mins or open the tank cap. Blockage is common when the tank is put back and the tube get bend along its path..reason I think why mech sometime pretent they don't know and don't bother to put it back..and eventually the tube would hang loose and drop while you ride after awhile. Anyway...to know wheather your breather hole or tube is block..when you open the tank cap..there is a LOUD "Pssssssssssssst!"..yes, expanded fuel gas vapour farting! Even park under hot sun and if partially block...alo "Pssssssssssssssst!"

[JbAtRaCeR]

Its true that some mechs pretend dont know or dont want to know. As for me i only connect the overflow tube.

issit possible to purchase jz the overflow pipe?

[Ah Pek]

issit possible to purchase jz the overflow pipe?

 

Sure..it just a rubber tube...can even use those that aquarium uses..just have to get the internal diameter ight. Its better to get those fuel hose (chemical and heat resistance)selling in car spare part shop. Its on reel and just tell them the length you need. It's about $2.50 cents for 1 meter...thinner one..cheaper.

[vtec power]

ani 1 noe the diameter of the overflow pipe?

 

ani examples of car shops which i can approach? Sorri...realli nt familiar abt car shops
