Xbandito Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Hi all, I have a little question about the Derbi Terra and to me, a design fault. Underneath the airbox is this rubber teat, which is not mentioned in the manual, it fills with water "daily" and if not emptied, starting the bike becomes difficult. As I found out on Sat morning at 6.30am when I was trying to go to dialysis. In fact the bike is now at the dealers, for it refused to start and the battery went a little flat...well pancaked Now I can not remember ever having this problem before, on the CG or the Superdream, do you think it would be all right, if I left this "teat" off and let the water drip out, it would only drip over the swinging arm.

Guest Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 sounds dodgy, could it be worth putting a little flexi tubing in there instead so drain the water away like an overflow pipe down to below the frame? clean the teat and push it on the end? least then you know the water won't go over anything dodgy? sorry, not much help.

fredc Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 There should be a slight gap in the teat to allow water to drain while the engine is off and when the engine is running the vacuum is enough to close the gap Quote
