    vent hose question

    how would the bike run with a vent hose missing off the carb?

    Well, im not sure with a stock airbox, but with pod filters, everyone round these parts suggests that you remove the vent hoses. So id imagine it wouldnt run worse..

      It should run fine with out the vent tubes but if you pull off the vacum tube it will run worse.

          It will run fine w/out it. If you have a stock airbox I'd put it back on so you keep water and dirt out of the float bowls.

                You don't really need them. They are there as a safety measure to make sure no crap gets into the bowls.
