Carb overflow pipe routing?

#1 PostAuthor: JWO261N » Sun Mar 14, 2021 5:03 pm

Hi all,
I have the 4 overflow pipes that come out of the bottom of the carbs.
Is there a recommended routing for these, or just common sense maybe?

Hi mate, you need one of these, obtained from z Power if you haven't got one. It raps around the upper righthand engine mount bolt, and the pipes are fed through it.

Excellent thanks.
Then just drop the pipes down clear of the exhausts I guess.

This forum is great!
My Z400J has one of those rubber things, but never could figure out how it was attached to the bike.
Until now!
Thanks Wrigers. Another mystery solved.
