Ok, so here goes! - below are some pics of what I am not sure about on my R1 engine.

(Edited to add - carbed 4XV)

I have had my chassis converted to take an R1 engine and got it back recently, trouble is I don't have much of an idea about what the hoses/cable/attachments are.

I have highlighted those things. In blue are hoses which I am pretty sure where they go. The green items are those which I am really not sure about.

Please could you help me out?


Thanks

James

There you go, bottom pics show its the water pipes that stop the carbs icing up!

picture 1 & picture 2 are breathers

picture 5 is fuel rail exit tube

What software did you use to do that then Photoshop?? Very clever...

Pictures 1 and 2: breathers. Mine came with little air filters, like those in picture 2.

Picture 3: breathers (fuel overflow in case the float valve sticks open). They connect to the green cover missing off your cam chain tensioner, visible under carb no. 4 to the right of the picture.

Picture 4: water out of the oil cooler. Send this to the rad.

Picture 5: top left: hot water rail to stop carb icing. Only affected mine when driving through freezing fog. I sent the little pipe from the thermostat vent through this to the header tank. Bottom right: air breather to the crank case. Mine goes to a catch tank which has caught precisely nothing in 3 years. Does blow air and sometimes steam so will be a source of noise.

Picture 6: bleed to the inlet of the water pump. My header tank feeds into this.
