I have a 1/2 inch plastic plug in mine, but the usual plug seems to be a marble...hence the name, marbling....sure made a difference on the over run and sometimes it would pop on an upshift...all gone, now

and you recommend plugging it up? Cloth? Tie it off?

It goes into a hole in the back of the right airbox that you don't have. Right near the end is a mark where the hose passed through the backing plate...

Yes, 1/2" diameter, long pre shaped double curve form. You say they plug it up?? I am back firing, which is why Im revisiting this. It looks like there was a ring / clamp on it at sometime.

Is it about 1/2" inside diameter? It's probably the air intake for the decel valve...the one that everybody plugs to stop the backfiring.

Ok,

I'm almost done with a front bevel gear bearing (and shim) replacement, I am reassembling, have test driven it - all ok, except! for the life of me, I cannot see where to attach one of the vacuum switch hoses. I have the ones that lead to the switches on the cylinders on ok, the narrow one that heads over towards the throttle body is ok too.  I suspect the last one, largest diameter that leads from the brake side of the bike, heads towards the air cleaner assembly, but I don't see it. Parts fiche, Google, Clymers and Kawasaki service manual doesn't show it as far as I can see. Where does that hose go?

I should mention that there is a Kuryakyn air charger on it - which I'll eventually replace since I can't hug the tank properly with it there.

Thanks!
