Ok, so I lost some things when I was working on the Tiger. One of those things -I thought- was the cap on the left hand side of the expansion chamber behind the airbox. However, when I look at the parts picture, that shows me a completely different 'end' to that expansion chamber than a cap:

Can someone show me that snorkel etc on their bike? Thanks!
11 & 12 (crappy foam prefilter) slide into 8, and 13 which is essentially a bent tube, clips onto the top of 8.
RHS has the cap.
Unfortunately that side of my steam is up against the garage wall at the moment, with too much in the way to get at it. I might be taking it out for a ride sunday so hopefully will be able to take a pic then.
Thanks GavD!
I guess I have to take some pics of mine and take that part apart again to see what parts I have and don't have. :)
The cap is #14, but in the diagram it looks more like an O ring.
It should look like the lens cap from a pair of binoculars.
Reckon a bit of duct tape might do the same job?
Oh, dirty under there :icon_redface:
Thanks! Interesting. So, that seems to be missing on my bike...
Does anyone have that lying around?

:*&* You're getting like Timbox2 now.
@ghulst, is it the snorkel, the filter or the cap you're missing?

Everything from the big box onwards...

Ah, a bit of digging has helped. But there is no cap on that, right?
Thats right, thats the 'snorkel' - the other auxiliary airbox on the R/H side has just the blanking cap instead.
Triumphs R&D team must have had fun.
That filter looking part is a sound baffle? Mine hasn't got one. I tried the cap off once,and it didn't seem to make any difference? Plenty of 'used' bits on eBay? I might have a snorkel ..no cap,if your really stuck,but try without?
Mine came without a cap but didn't like it, it ran a bit 'lumpy', if yours is the same then Nicks gaffer tape solution will be fine until you find a replacement.
Well, I have the cap on the right, just thought it needed one on the left as well, but it doesn't, so I am fine. And done. ;)

Funny, mine doesn't have much of those pieces at all ...
Hahahahaha, Yes, I can see that. But did you change the carbs to make it run ok? I mean, this gives a completely different air mixture and you miss the resonations from the airbox. So how does that work for you? I tried it on a Yamaha before and that ran terrible without the airbox. ;)

Oy, I resemble that remark. Anyway, cleanliness is next to Googliness :icon_biggrin:

Sorry for the late reply, been out of country for a while. The Mikuni carbs were rejetted to 130 to work. Got several HP more with a small loss of torque under 4,000 rpm. 3mpg less fuel economy, but what a kick when twisting the wrist! Now running Keihin carbs with 122.5 jets for better economy with same HP. Been like that for 15 years / 90,000km.
On 11 and 12 is one of them a solid prefilter? Mine is some material wrapped around a plastic cage. Sorry not my post but I am dying to know.

The plastic cage has some thin foam around it, both my steamers have... it starts to turn to dust as it gets old.
