Title: Battery vent tube routing?
Post by: stephan on February 25, 2004, 10:48:55 AM
Can any of you tell me how to route my battery vent tube?  

I had taken out the battery due to cold weather, but I've recently put it back in and can't figure it out.  Before it came from the battery box and was stuck between the swing arm frame and right foot peg, but I don't know if that's right.   :dunno:

Thanks!

Just to the bottom of the bike I guess?  I don't think there is a specific path it has to take just as long as you route the vapors to fresh air.

there is a series of clip brackets that run down the right hand side. i think there are some other hoses routed through there as well. i just discovered them one by one after installing a new battery last fall. they basically follow a path directly from the bottom right of the battery down to ~4" in front of your brake pedal.

Just make sure that its routed so that any acid that may drip down the tube falls to the ground and not on your bike  :o  .  I've been told that it can happen. :dunno:
