take a look at that or if you have the standard system handy then put that back on, as the filter you have will suffer from what is know as "heat soak".


hope this helps

i think the pipe in question is for the idle control valve. it should be connected to the airfilter, so it looks like the one you have could be the wrong filter. you can take the pipe off and replace with a breather filter.

this is a green enclosed on my vtr. you can see where i replaced the pipe with a breather filter, i have suffered no problems with the filter in place.
