Hi Guys,
After days of research, I used the phosphoric acid method to remove the rust from my gas tank after taken out of storage. While it’s off I am cleaning my carbs. I’ve seen many posts about removing vacuum lines and replacing with a rubber cap. Is this recommended or is this just for the California Voyagers? I do not have a California bike and would just a soon leave them off if recommended. Which ones would I remove? I have a low mileage 2001 ZG1200b.
Many thanks,
Sci
Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Re: vacuum lines on carb
All Voyager XIIs in Canada use 4 of the rubber plugs, #92066-006. But please note that none of the engines for Canada had the clean air vacuum valve setups that the 92059-1033 and 92059-1162 hoses operate, nor the reed valve arrangement on the cylinder head cover. Canadian models had 2 blank plates instead of the reed valves/caps, see carburetor, air filter and cylinder head cover parts illustrations.
Instead of the 92059-1033 black hoses, our engines use a 1/4" (I believe), clear plastic pipe from the 2 tees, 92005-1125, which go UNBLOCKED over the top of the lower airbox and head downward towards the swingarm.
I can't make any recommendations for the US system, but that is what we have up here.
Hope that helps in some small way,
Dave
