Fuel tank hoses
#1
Was looking under the fuel tank today and was curious if any one can guide me on the two extra hoses that come off the underside of the tank.  They seem to be a drain hose and maybe a breather hose but Im not certain?!?  When I gently hinged the tank back the tubes slid up and I was not sure how they connect on the far end.  If they are breather and drain then I suppose they are positioned to simply ride open ended and allow air / drainage to occur?  Just want to be sure I have them back in the proper position.  Thanks Smile

You are correct, breather and drain hoses for the tank and they are routed down behind the clutch cover to free air.

Make sure that when you ever hinge up the tank that when you lower it that you give the pipes a good tug down from under the bike because there has been cases of the breather pipe getting kinked causing back pressure in the fuel tank & a face full of fuel when you open the tank filler cap.
