Title: Where the heck does this hose go? Anyone? lol
Post by: billieray127 on March 25, 2013, 12:30:58 PM
I can not figure out where this hose goes! I've looked at the routing picture, but I don't even see it on there. Maybe I overlooked it or something, Idk. I tucked it up under some other hoses, so yall could see, but it didn't work out very nice. It's a T that connects to other little T's along the right side of the carburetor if you're standing behind the bike. I circled the T & pointed at the hose I'm having trouble with. From what you can see... have you got an idea?   :embarassed:



Also, on a totally unrelated topic.. how do you post a new topic using Tapatalk?  :dunno_black:

Looks to be from the PAIR system (The small little hose that goes to the silver thing on the frame).  Emissions related.

Is it disconnected somewhere else?

no, that's the only spot. & are you talking about the petcock? or something else? lol I'm kinda new to all the mechanical stuff... Okay, really new, so bear with me here.  But I've learned alot from this website.  :D it really helps me out.

Ok, the little hose goes to the PAIR system, used for emissions.  It's the silver thing on the top left hand side of the pic.  Just follow the hose to where it ends.  That's right.

The other larger hose, that's connected at the T...is it connected everywhere it should be, or is there an open end?   :dunno_black:

If it's all connected, just tuck it beside the carb.  You should be OK, unless I am blatantly missing something.

I held my finger over the hose and started my bike up. It sucks. So it's a vacuum hose. Which means it connects to the bottom of my tank. Right?

Here's some more pictures.

Not home now. Will check later, doubtful it goes to the tank. It may go to another fitting on the carb. Dono without the diagram.

I had read somewhere that the tank has a vacuum hose. Then a breather hose. I've read so much stuff it's hard to know what goes where. Lol just let me know if you can figure it out.

Yes! Yes it does! Thank you so much. Lol and that hose that that's beside the two hoses that goes to your tank where your air box is. Does it go to your tank too? I don't have any extra hoses,  and there wasn't one hooked to my tank when I took it off the first time. Did previous owner take it off or what?

I wanna say the vacuum hose for the fuel petcock? But without a bike in front of me I am only guessing.

It looks like the hose that goes to the back of the petcock for the vacuum as Stevo said
