83 KZ1100 Shaft Air box plug for reed valve hose
21 May 2016 14:59
PO had done away with the vacuum switch that goes from the reed valves to the air box. There is one hose that just connects each reed valve cover to each other. That leaves a big hole in the air box. Just wondering if I plug the hole? I can't imagine what harm it would cause and it plugs the fresh air source to the carbs.
Don't fix it until it's broken.

Thanks Steve. I used a wine bottle cork for now...
