    G'day All, I have a couple of RG250s. I was wondering if anyone knew what the tube, that runs between the two induction ducts at the back of the cylinders just in front of the carbies, does. What does it do and can I remove it and block the holes? Is it an integral part of the induction system?
    Regards Jim

    i believe it is to balance out the pressure caused by intake pulses.

    Balance pipe as Risky said. If you remove it you will loose a bit of low rev torque, and they don't have much to start with.
