The air-intake assembly needs to be in perfect condition, especially internally, with no damage to the inner surfaces where gas flow is so vital for top performance.
The various components such as inlet funnels, joints and seals degrade over time and renewal is often the only way to achieve a perfect fuel/air ratio with correctly filtered air and unimpeded gas-flow.
Other related air-filter box components and fasteners you may wish to consider when refurbishing the assembly:
Add as many items as you wish to the same shopping cart, new hose clamps 9045060004 and bolts 9131406020 for example, and still only pay the same single fixed price shipping cost.
This component may have other applications within the Yamaha model range. So, please check the part-number is correct for the model onto which it is to be fitted prior to ordering.
