Can anyone please tell me what these items are with the red pointing or around them please?

Also are they needed or can they left off or what is needed for them?

1. this pipe goes around the carbs (might be water?)

Description
2. This sticks out of the block?

Description
3. This pipe comes of the gearbox.

Description
4. Not sure what these do?

Description
5. This pipe comes of the bottom of the water pump.

Description
6. Two spare pipes comming of the carbs.


Many thanks as im having trouble finding what to do with these few things.

1- water supply to carbs, not needed bin em

2- ? not sure what that is without checking

3- crankcase breather, either stick a filter on it or leave the pipe open to air

4- not needed, sling the middle bit and join the two pipes together.

5- dunno but not needed, bin it

6- carb breathers, leave open to air.

Al.

2. is the outlet/inlet for carb coolant,just block it off.
5. is the (other)coolant feed from the water pump to the carbs. Pull it off the pump and block it off. I used a bit of the rubber pipe with a bolt jammed in the end.

Number 6 are indeed carb breather pipes.... They supply air to the non-vaccum side of the diaphragm. Leaving them open to air is the usual ploy though on the bikes they're often fed from the filtered air (infact the ST1100 has a little pre-filter just for them)....
If you're planning on doing Paris-Dakar you might want to filter them, and of course using a non-filtered source will effect tuning but then all the other factors also changing during a BEC install (exhaust, filter etc) usually mean that rejetting is required anyway....
