Title: Help w Hose Routing Plz! :)
Post by: Pelikan on November 02, 2014, 07:06:07 PM
Guys.  Got everything done, valves, oil, carbs, etc etc, and the hardest bloody part is getting these hoses routed and connected right.  Can someone take a look at the pic and see what if anything is wrong?  Thought I had it all hooked up right and went to put the gas tank back on...two fuel lines and the drain, okay no prob....but there's a fourth line coming off the right side of the tank, smaller in diameter than the other three, and I can't remember what it attached to.

Any help greatly appreciated.  These bloody hoses are the only thing between me and a running bike.  Free beer to the guy who nails it.   :cheers:

I've only had 97 and 02 49 state models with 3 hoses off tank but some older California models had another hose, from wiki:

Yeah it's an '06 California.  Looking at that diagram I think I know where it goes now.

It goes to the charcoal canister. The bike will run fine even if you leave it disconnected. I had to remove the whole charcoal canister assembly so that I could fit an R6 shock.
