Least it's not downstream of the carb so you won't do as much damage if it's not 100% sealed.

It is downstream of the carb, air drawn in rather than through carb hence starting difficulties, just as well found now, could have been much worse if I was caning it around, will try and post a pic hortly

There you go! How did I miss that!

Only the ones with the additional intake silencer attachment will be left before long

I've explained it before, but probably poorly. Definitely research it.

Jesus! How did your guide dog get that carb in there and miss that massive split

I know what the YEIS does but I'm unsure if the second 'bottle' is a boost bottle and always assumed it was a modification by Yamaha to the older engine to either quieten it down more or improve emissions.

Split was not there when reassembled, ran fine at the time, been a few weeks since then waiting for wheels to be done, just old rubber I guess, could have gone anytime

Just had to Google that to check and you are correct

Still can't see a second bottle though. Only the normal bottle?

Yes I thought that might be the case due to having the dellorto rather than the mikuni carb.
If i could find a 200R engine I'd use the associated carb which I reckon is the same 28mm mikuni as the DTR

Ordered the new one but will repair old one when I get it off, what glue did you use and how is it holding up?

Mine was smothered in silicone. Doubt you'll get a glue that remains flexible enough, although a contact adhesive like carpet glue might work.

I'd try super glue as well

Not how I'd do it. Replace the item, it's cheap enough new from Yamaha.
Ultimately if that part starts to weep, you're going to run your bike lean, and before you know it, you'll burn a hole through your piston, as well as your wallet.
And people wonder why DT's can be in right dog states.
