2005 FZ6 Fuel Hose problem

(1/2) > >>

Evening,


Apologies for the first post but I've had a bit of a nigthmare tonight. After feeding a cable through to power a quadlock and putting the fuel tank back on one of the hoses got snagged under it and I think its just chopped it in two. I've had no luck as yet trying to see where the other half of it is, and the service manual isn't very clear on where it goes too.


Can anyone give me an idea on where this one highlighted goes too on the bike, no fuel came out when i did notice it but guessing this is because the pump isn't in use with it being off?


And after its confirmed where it does, how easy is it to replace?

Hello BEERGOGGLES82 and welcome to the forum...never worked on a fz6   but that hose looks like a breather hose and not fuel which explains why you have no leaking petrol. the breather hose connects to nothing, just feed it through straight down usually somewhere near the foot pegs.

Thank you, was just replying to my own post to update it with a smilar thought.


Now just after that end bit of the picture is where its been chopped in two, I just cant for the life of me find the other half

The fuel hose is the one I've circled in green and it attaches to the bottom of the fuel pump (the white plastic part).

There's a black plastic cap that has to be unclipped before the hose can be removed.

The open ended hose on the left side of the tank (that you circled in red) is the overflow, the one on the right hand side (at the top left of the picture) is the breather that stops a vacuum lock forming when the fuel pump pushes petrol through to the engine.

They run down through the frame at the back of the engine and, if you can be bothered, there's a square bracket at the bottom of the centre stand that they can feed through to keep them tidy.

Just make sure that, when you lower the tank, neither is caught or pinched and you'll be fine.
