It's where you fit the power band to.

:D i get my power bands from the swimming pool, there free and work better, colour dont matter as i twist them round the twist grip and the bike goes faster cos i can grip the grip better!!!!! :D

Excuse me if I slip into technical jargon but it's the whatsit that fits to the thingy so the whatyamacallit works. Please don't mix up whatsit and whatyamacallit though, it's easily done. Of course you could always fit a dooda instead.

Hope mechanics speak that makes it clear

It looks suspiciously like a gozonti adapter for a 1998 R1?

It the flange pipe vacuum take off for the electricity pump. It's the supply that charges the battery so if it's not connected the battery won't charge.

It's so you can connect vacuum guages so that you can balance your carb.

It's the air injection port nozzle into the intake manifold.

It's normally blanked off for a smoother midrange, but if you leave it open you will find it allows extra air into the engine for noticeably more power and higher top speed when you go down hill at full throttle once over 50mph!

Your bike has a very small willy.

It is where there 2smoke oil goes in.
Connect it to the pump.
It goes between the carb and engine/reed block.

vacuum pick up for the fuel tap?, its too big to be oil by the looks of it.

If the picture is for an aftermarket manifold it could be for one of those boost bottle things.

vacuum pipe for the fuel...pipe from the fuel tank/ vacuum pump should connect to it

100% 2 stroke oil intake.
if carb has also a 2t intake, blank the one on manifold off,
cheers,
