Re: Air box seals
Sorry Gilson i was being a numpty and didnt read your post correctly.
So the vacum pipe can cause the bike to run poorly if connected wrongly. I will have a gander in the haynes manual and see if i can suss the routing you are describing.
Cheers

Air box seals

Sorry should have also said Benny that there isnt any oil shown in the area you mention. Any other thoughts, i think I will take the tank off and have a look around. It couldnt be the seal at the filler could it?
