nanosecond Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have a persistent problem with the RH hose from the throttle body to the air box (at the throttle body end) working loose. Any suggestions on a fix? Loctite? New clip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I've heard of problems from people using pods but I think you should check your TB sync. There must be plenty of vibrations or something if the hoses pops off with the airbox in place. Having said that, some problems with pods are completely cured after replacing the rubber boots. They have an inner relief, or shape... doh, my english fails now but I think you get it. New ones will sit much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanosecond Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Good idea.. it's only been an issue since I wound the idle on a bit. Have checked out new hose and / or clips though. I reckon I can run to £1.70 for a new clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanosecond Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 A long overdue postscript to my original post.. I went to my local dealer (Newcombe Bros in Chelms ford) and told em' about the problem. Turns out I had a stuck valve! Says a lot about the engine that it was still running well enough to run at speeds of up to 100 without complaint. They fixed it easy enough and the hose issue is no more. Plus the bike is running much better.. Wouldn't have had a clue until taking it in, so I figure i'm going to keep my home maintenance to the stuff I can see!
