    Yes I need these

    I walked to my storage unit to start the bikes this afternoon. I went to start the Yamaha and it started popping right away. I went to shut it off and found out I took off the vacuum caps to examine them and forgot to put them back on. Yes they are needed and the popping showed they were missing. I have new ones in my tool box in my Moms house.

        Yes Bonz-I just realized I have vacuum caps from my ZRX I bought from Kwick-I believe they are the same size.
