RVF400 Petrol Tank Question

Post by helby » Tue Jan 05, 2010 1:48 pm

Hi

I just purchased a RVF400 I am not a complete noob but I have a question on the underside of the tank there is 4 hoses two what join to the petcock and 2 others, Are the other 2 overflow? I am just curious as to which is the vacuum hose? Is it the tiny hose on the petcock or one of the two others on the tank? Hope I am clear enough in explanation as I removed the tank to change air filter and removed the two petcock hoses and the other 2 are just free hanging and run down on the left hand side of the frame under the rubber protective flap but are clear of the front sprocket.

(I am in Australia and have ordered Haynes manual from ebay.uk)

Cheers in advance guys !
