Default Raptor - Carb vent tubes VS. swing arm bearings.

I noticed that the carb vent tubes that come from the bottom of the carbs seem to occasionally put raw gas directly on the swing arm pivot. Seems this could accelerate seal/bushing/bearing wear. I extended these lines so no gas is put on that area. After replacing the bearings after only 18 mths I think this might have been a factor. Just a thought.

Comments ?

I thought the same thing so I routed mine to the left side of the case and zip tied them to the oil line. Now I can see when the foats hang up or the bowls are overflowing because the fuel will spit right on my boot. lol.
