carb vent mod to prevent cutting out in water

[dreadnought]

Hi

Has anybody got or could somebody send me a photo of the vent mod were a hose comes up over the side of the airbox.

The only vent hoses i can see on the carb is the one on the left hand side of carb which is about 6 inchs long and the hose from the drain port on the base of the carb.

I cannot see any t piece or extra hoses hanging down.

The only other hose hanging down is the overflow for the coolant box.

I had a good look but have no idea what you are talking about.

Will be very gratefull for you help again.

Thanks for the info.

However i still have to find out why it cuts in and out in water. It doesn't seem to be the side stand banging around as that is quite sterdy.

anybody got any other ideas?

unless that black hose that hangs off the left side of the carb is under water,thats not your issue.

you need to by pass the side stand switch.

weve heard it a million times that it cant be the problem.it most always is.

As Eddie says, sidestand cut out, if you are standing to cross water I would bet that is what it is.

But.......

Does your DRZ still have a functioning "Pair Valve system" and how deep is the water crossing that causes it to cut out.

I have No idea what a PVS system is?

it plays up when splashing through puddles to full on 3 foot deep.

I think i might get a 2nd hand cut of switch and butcher it rather than cut the wires or bridge the original one.

Use a zip tie to keep the kick stand switch closed if you don't want to take it off or cut the wires. That should rule out the issue one way or the other rather easily.

Cut the wires and put them under the seat and leave the plug in the harness. It is actually more dangerous to have it on there than you think. Running out of power in whoops is no fun.... Also, you can just get another switch later if you want and plug it back in.

Saves weight too.... Not much but every little bit counts.

Do a search on here for "pair valve' and removal of.

It injects air into the exhaust to make sure all fuel is burnt.

But as it picks the air up from in front of the engine and inside the sump guard it also does a good job of sucking water.
