        I ran my bike for the past year+ of riding without the carb warming pipes and only hooked them back up recently. I wasn't affected by carb icing at all. It's the only bike I've ever seen them on tbh.

          @Mightyman thanks mate I only run mine during the warmer weather so guessing I will get away with it if that's the case, just don't want to cook the motor

            @andrewj1680 it should have no noticeable affect on the engine at all. Its only there to prevent the carb icing up and getting stuck open in extremely cold weather.

                                    @Louis-James he mentioned in the other thread it's a road registered bike but no MOT at the moment.

                                      If you don't use the pipes do they need to be blocked off
                                      Or can they be removed from the carb altogether by warming the carb an removing the pipes so it looks neat
                                      What about the head an thermostat housing can these be blocked off
                                      Does any one have a pic to show how they have done it

                                        @dan28 Leave the carb alone. But the head will need to be blocked off, or lines looped, else you'll have coolant coming out of the head.

                                          @calum you can’t block it can you isn’t it a transfer for coolant?
