Re: vacuum hose coming off?
Hose should not be under any pressure, only negative pressure [vacuum]
Honda fit a 2 eared 3.5mm wire clip, [part is still available] but a turn of lock wire will suffice.
Clean the hose and stub in case rubber grease was used to fit the hose.

Re: vacuum hose coming off?
So I put the 2 eared clip on but I can see it has still moved... luckily it hasn't come off. I'm figuring when the bike stands after riding the block heatsinks and it creates positive pressure in the block. Does the block have a breather? If so where? I'm wondering if it's blocked

Re: vacuum hose coming off?
Get a slightly longer new piece of vac hose and use the clips. This should help
