You should vent your gas cap, dude.

Here's an example...

The part you removed is a valve, basically. Which is supposed to help relieve tank pressure. Doesn't do a very good job, though. Which is why the gas cap vent mod is recommended.

You could also vent the tank by adding a vent line to the grommet. It does the same thing. The gas cap mod is just easier, in my opinion.

so if I do the gas cap vent do I re-install the valve again?.

No, you can toss it. Just re-use the rubber bulb. Without it, the cap won't seal properly.

ok guess I could pick up the brass vent in home depot.

If you want to ditch the rubber bulb you can replace it with an Oring. But as stated, you need something to seal the cap to the tank.

Ok installed the pipe hardware and it's running so much faster! didnt get to the cap vent part but will get to it as soon as work permit's.!

Looks good. Keep an eye on that pipe, they are short lived.

yes I heard, will invest in a good pipe once this one melts!, but it does make a difference in speed. I have 3 other baja's I have to feed. also RCDAD thanks for the info on those bolts.

We all have our favorites!

The 5T takes jumps better than the MT. Sad, but true.

 

[Guest]

The longer wheel base platforms are nice on the jumps.

When I jump the MT it's like trying to jump a cinder block.

I balanced my XT's tires using a roll of magnetic stripping with a tape back... No need for the magnet, just nice and heavy material with a very sticky back. Before doing this, my XT with homemade foams would litterally hop down the road, after doing this, it ran smooth. The XT has smaller wheels though, so I was able to use a production balancer. I too am going to come up with a balancer for the MT...

Hey you ever came up with an idea for the balancer for the mt tires?

 

[Deluge]

Just an idea, but you could remove one of the rear dogbones and just use that free hub as a balancer. I think the MT tires are heavy enough to make it work.

 

[Guest]

That's kinda what I was thinking. I was going to use and extra bearing holder as the mount.
