Member Contributer SAW Posted October 14, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 14, 2014 So my cool Samco hoses arrived from England, and I've gotten all of them only '93 VFR750F except for the 2 that are under the carbs. I've removed air box and base, vela stacks and base, but I still can't get at those hoses. Do the carbs have to come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted October 15, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 15, 2014 I fear yes and that is one of the reasons for not jumping in on a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer AnikMankar Posted October 15, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 15, 2014 recently changed all my hoses on the 5th gen. had to pull out the throttle bodies to replace the hoses underneath. In the bargain also got the injectors and throttle body cleaned. Was worth the effort and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better now than on a ride when she's puking hot magma all over your inner thigh lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alhazred Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It's really not that hard to take the carbs off,I have more trouble getting the tank on with the rubber cushions in place than popping the carbs on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is to have the bike between your legs, hold the tank like you are grabbing <censored> style, wiggle the rear slowly up and down while gently pushing forward. Keep an eye on the "square" rubbers between lower rim and top of frame spare so that they donot come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are what I mean,one of the damn things fall off every time usually between the frame and carbs somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted October 17, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 17, 2014 add a little glue, that is what I did Or leave them off, fit the tank, keep the tank lifted (while it seats at the front) then fit the rubbers and slide them forward. Do not drop the tank with you finger underneath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer taglicious Posted October 17, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 17, 2014 I used zip ties through. They'll never come off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
