Any idea what the purpose of the ball bearing is? If it is missing, should it be replaced (with similar size), or just left out?

[@clownmotopecas2076]

The ball blocks gas from pouring out of the tank through the air inlet, when the bike is upside down on an accident.

[@trualpha]

what is the grease that you used at 6:15

[@clownmotopecas2076]

any grease is ok. That is chain grease

[@vr5578]

I was thinking about putting some but wouldn’t it get into fuel if bike is dropped or something? Am I dumb or is it better not to grease for carbed bikes ?

[@trualpha]

@@vr5578 bro what why would it be harmful and i didnt put any still ran fine there are cars where people put rocks in it washerfluid and it still runs you think a little grease isnt gonna disolve away
