Carb de icer pipes

[back off road]

Due to not living / riding in sub zero temperatures ,how can i blank the water pipes off from the carb ? it looks to be remove the flexi pipes and seal the head and carb off ? is it this easy ?

Think so. I keep meanin to do it. I just want to link the two pipes together, but they appear to be different thicknesses . I'll have to make somet.

Could blank em off at the head but i dont wanna damage anythin. I dont think they even gave to be linked, each one can be just stop ended, but i prefer to link em.

No problem to remove all trace.

In Japan temperatures in the winter regularly get below 10 degrees C during the day. This hapens very rarely in the UK. Also MX and Enduro bikes don't have these and are often get used in very low temps. I think the critical thing is that trail riding, MX and enduros are generally done at low speeds compared to on the road, so the wind chill around the carb is much less.

I've always got rid of the carb heater as have many CRM owners. I don't know of anyone who has had a problem after removing the carb deicer. If you think you will be riding in very low temperatures on the road at speed then you might want to keep it.
