Big_Kingy Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I took the fuel tank off today to clean out the air filter. I took 3 of 4 hoses off and the 4th one didn't seem to be connected to anything at the other end (and was tight as fook on the tank) so I left it connected to the tank, dangling down as I lifted the tank off. Hose number 27 is the hose I'm concerned about. I presume it's just a breather pipe and I've positioned it so it exits next to the bottom end of the clutch cable. Is it just a breather pipe? Is it ok where I've left it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weety Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Overflow for the petrol filler. Its fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp5 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Just looked at my Haynes manual. There are two hoses on the bottom of the tank, one thick and one thin. Thin hose is a breather, thick is a drain hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDMitch Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 What's it's purpose? You stick too much petrol into your tank, it goes somewhere Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Kingy Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 You stick too much petrol into your tank, it goes somewhere Mitch So if I'm sitting on the bike and over fill the tank I end up with a wet boot? Where should I relocate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weety Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 So if I'm sitting on the bike and over fill the tank I end up with a wet boot? Where should I relocate it? Into your Zippo? Just don't overfill your tank, but they usually stick out the bottom of the lower fairing, by the sidestand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp5 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 You stick too much petrol into your tank, it goes somewhere Mitch I think its the drain hose from the filler cap. If you lift the filler cap there is a drain hole on the l/h side to allow water or spilt fuel to drain away. As long as it's pointing in the general direction of down, it'll be reet.
