M.A.P.S. vac hoses...any others?

[Mazo EMS2]

I hope to get time to pull all the tupperware off this weekend and replace the 2 vac hoses. While I'm in there, and have hose in supply, are there others the same diameter that should be replaced?

Thanks,
Rick

Well this was a piece of cake job. Took a heck of a lot longer to get to them than it did to change them.........like everything else on the Spyder I guess.

Air box?

Did you need to remove the air cleaner box in order to do this job?

Did you replace them with more OEM pieces, or did you have new ones cut from silicon?

Nope. Just take the front/left sections of plastic off, and then the acoustic panel (hard, thick unfinished panel around the motor.) And on the left side, toward the front left corner of the airbox you'll find the m.a.p.s. sensor. The lines are small black rubber pieces of tubing about 4" long. No clamps or anything, they just pull off the hose barbs. The front one would be easier with small hands, but I have wide hands and managed to do it.

Went to the auto parts store and got a 6' piece for $4.

Vaccum Hoses

Silicon hoses can take the heat better than OEM hosesl
