Yep Jake, that would be the Squirrel condoms, (vaccum caps), if I remember correctly where one of those caps there used to be a hose that ran to the AI (air injection)not sure if you still have this installed, most pull it soon after aquirring their bike. (helps prevent early blueing of the pipes)I've had one of those caps blow off before causing a vac leak and my bike ran like crap, wouldn't idle, made nasty noise. ect..

But I'm still not saying this is yer problem, deffinatly could be that you need to do the valve adjustment as others have sugested.


Thanks, being that my bike is 10 years old with the mileage I have I may as well check them too.
