Aland Posted October 22, 2024 Posted October 22, 2024 Can anyone identify this pipe that has a dot on it? Is it supposed to be connected? Quote
Tiggie Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 Looks like a breather hose. Where is the other end attached? Quote
RideWithStyles Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 (edited) Quite chunky that is missing its male counterpart part and wire clip, Looks like it could be to do with the air box, gonna guess like tiggie a breather/redirect waste air/pressure pipe, it should be connected to The engine too. but in the background your missing another pipe as the clip/holder is there but no pipe. looks like your bike has had a “Rodney” at it, or many times.

Aland Posted October 23, 2024 Author Posted October 23, 2024 Thanks I can't detect where the other end goes. Where can I get diagrams/ pictures/ videos etc if what I need to install? Quote
Simon Davey Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 I reckon it's the fuel tank overflow/breather. Quote
Tiggie Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 I'd have a look for a Haynes manual for your bike. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394118640409?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tegzt6pmqdi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=oERdwDCnQ9i&var=662644107993&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY They can be invaluable for your bike, especially if you are doing the work yourself Quote

Aland Posted October 23, 2024 Author Posted October 23, 2024 Thanks. So this pipe is as it should be, but clear of any debris. And the other that's apparently missing? Quote

Only way to really know, is to get yourself a manual, such as the one in the link that @Tiggie posted above. That would be £32 that could save you a lot of money and time. Quote
Tiggie Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 Have a look at this page. It has the service manual for your bike. Should be plenty of diagrams and pictures etc. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1208156/Yamaha-Ybr-125.html 1 Quote
Aland Posted October 24, 2024 Author Posted October 24, 2024 (edited) So the mysterious pipe with a dot on it, goes into this unit(foto) then another pipe goes onto the top of the air filter unit . Edited October 24, 2024 by Aland Quote
Simon Davey Posted October 24, 2024 Posted October 24, 2024 (edited) So it's probably a drain for the throttle body ? Edited October 24, 2024 by Simon Davey Quote
Aland Posted October 24, 2024 Author Posted October 24, 2024 I believe the throttle body is further down? Quote
Aland Posted October 24, 2024 Author Posted October 24, 2024 Pipe with dot, above throttle body, which goes to top of air filter box, any ideas if it should be connected? Quote
Simon Davey Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 It's either a breather/drain or vacuum. Looks like there's a hose clip on the air intake at the back of the throttle body, maybe it used to be longer and was put through that clip? Quote
Tinkicker Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 (edited) Part number 22. Edited October 25, 2024 by Tinkicker 4 1 Quote
Simon Davey Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 That's brilliant @Tinkicker So it eventually connects to the exhaust. Blimey. Quote
Tinkicker Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 (edited) When you to get to the stage of locating long obsolete parts for long discontinued vintage bikes, you too will learn those skills..... Edited October 25, 2024 by Tinkicker Quote
RideWithStyles Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 (edited) Thanks tinkicker. Looks more like your missing part no20, 19,18, 17, 10 that connect to the exhaust for the extra air to be introduced to be burnt at the exhaust pipe. Fuel tank overflows are very small pipes, and never had connectors mid point just one pipe straight down to the lowest point, has been on every bike I’ve ever owned. Air ones for airboxes and engines are bigger just like in this case, generally dry but a hint of oil vapour or moisture is a give away but if it’s been like that for a while it probably is dry. Another possibility but not for this bike if it had a clean air vapour canister, this cleans the air prior to pumping it out to the outside atmosphere and avoiding redirecting /recycling dirty contamination air within the tank/engine to the engine again as possible to not clogg it up.

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 A lot of engines around that time had valves that controlled emissions on cold engines - many riders disconnected them as they could prove troublesome. My guess is this is something along those lines. Quote
Bianco2564 Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 It’s a secondary air induction system. Air is pulled into the exhaust to ignite any unburnt fuel. Quote
bud Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 It's the PAIR system. If the exhaust has been changed. It probably won't fit anymore. Quote
