Dtr 2001 hose warming pipes

Normally no but if you ride in very cold weather they prevent the carb from icing up, which in turn could result in the throttle sticking on

To the carb? No, but it is there because it helps. Especially this time of year

@SpookDog hi mate, how do the warmer pipes go through the carb
@Michaelashbrook As others have said it doesn’t make any difference which hose goes where, and they’re not really needed in a country like the UK with mild winters. However they also serve another purpose which is to make the cooling system self-bleeding when refilling as the one on the thermostat housing comes out above the actual thermostat, so all you have to do is fill the radiator slowly and you end up with no trapped air (this is why bikes like the 350LC and a lot of MX bikes have bleed bolts on the head and barrel etc.). So it’s useful to just run a single hose from one banjo straight to the other and bypass the carb; you still retain the self-bleeding cooling system but it’s a lot easier to get the carb off for cleaning, jetting and float height changes etc.
