It's a pressure equalizer for between intakes, usually used on twin cylinders/twin carbs. I've played with them on snowmobiles. If it is on a single thumper it is probably more as a vacuum chamber to smoothen out pulses.

I don't think there will be much gain on the XT's , they don't have stuff using vacuum for operation that would need reliable amounts of vacuum. Being single cylinder not a need for even intake runners either.

But still my question is unanswered.Why some xt600's have it and some don't?What's the difference in the same engine?What's the real purpose of this plastic?

What is attached to the little nipple coming out the side? On the older models it is capped off, maybe they added some emissions junk that needed the vacuum reservoir .

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB.
