Cheers Steve.
The reason why I ask is that I have my bike back from the dealers and it is purring ..fantastic...
I took the bike in the back of a van even tho' it was running, I took all the front body work off to save the mech doing it..
They looked at it and I received a phone call a couple of days later saying that I need some part"S"..I was told that the "t" piece was missing from the bottom of the air box...Is it on your garage floor?? and that I needed a new one...They could supply one for me for one hundred pounds...I will ring you back I said after I ring motorworks to get a second hand one for sixty pounds...
Five mins later he ring me back saying that the "t" piece is not missing now and that it is still there but there is a hole near that area that should have a tube coming from it, obviously you have broken it when you took the air box off and now its letting in extra air.. I told them to block it up with something and that's what they said they did...
So the air box "outputs" are as follows...
Electrical connection at the top of the box
Electrical connection at the r/h/s near the fuel rail
A t piece that connects to the two small tubes that go the the throttle bodies
2 outputs for the throttle body rubbers (main air intakes)
Valve cover breather tube
and now there is another one some where on the bottom of the airbox that I have never seen...
Anyhoo, Im one hundred and thirty five ponds lighter but the bike runs great....
They did connect it to the computer because my service light has gone off..
So I tip my hat to all that said air box leak...
When I picked up the bike today I asked the mech about water in the airbox and all he came up with is condensation because the water system is not connected to the air box....
So that's it guys, The bike is running great and I just need an mot and tax and I will see you on the road...Ride safe and thanks to everyone who helped ....Tosh
