    Hello guys and gals. New here. Recently bought a lexmoto firenze Zn 125 T-f. Ran well for a couple of weeks then broke dow. Think its fuel not getting in, not sure where to start but what is this:


    Any insight and any tips would be appreciated.
    Many thanks

    I think it's part of the breather system for emissions to recycle air and general gasses back through the bike through the air-box or directly into the engine. Lots of people think removing this will make them go quicker as the bike is breathing fresher air or there is less weight, however this makes bugger all difference in my experience.

    See and try test what it might do
    I removed some of this from a mates bike as it literally did nothing there was nothing inside and no holes no function at all
    That included taking off the charcoal canister that was just a fake look alike and had no function at all no diaphragm or anything
    Just looked correct but 100% did nothing
    So do check see if it connects to carb or manifold and see if anything opens when you suck on the hose and if anything can actually flow thru it
