Re: nc30 vacuum pipes
as in the one that has the threaded nipple on the top of the tank. just to avoid confusion thats not the vacuum, would be more appropriate to call it the breather pipe. thats just me being pedantic thoj77drs wrote:hi

Re: nc30 vacuum pipes
The tank breather goes into a 3 way T juntion on the left hand side of the bike. The inital hose from the tank into the junction is about 3ft long and has a 6mm internal diameter. The Junction has 2 other hoses attached, the one exiting from the top is another breather hose which exhales pressure, caused by the petrol fumes, from the tank into the atmosphere (i believe it exits close to the sidestand on that little bracket?)
I've no idea what the other hose is for, as i've never had to replace/remove it, however i would imagine its another breather of some sort giving its material and thickness.

Re: nc30 vacuum pipes
so if one blocks the tank still gets air via the other pipe.j77drs wrote:mymistake, the breather,
