Ill go see if I can find it on mine...

I think thats the fuel over fill pipe.

I just realised as I went out that mine isnt assembled

If im right, you should have a fuel pipe from the tap, fuel vacuum hose and then the over fill. I think thats right.

Thanks very much for looking, i just asked,because i wanted to take the tank right off the bike,the last thing i wanted was petrol peaing everywhere, so it's just there to stop fuel, from over flowing over the tank,if you put too much fuel in :D

thanks for your help

I just disconnect the one on the fuel tap whenever I need to take the tank off. Just close the tap and whip it off, so you should be safe (hopefully )

cheers the pipe is connected to the tap, but i will check to make sure it's not split and is connected to the inlet.

Make sure it's connected to the correct one!
There are three 'ports' on the tap, one large and two small, one large for petrol and the vacuum pipe should be connected to the outer small 'port', if it's connected to the inner port then the tap will be held shut by the vacuum.

You can test it by sticking some tube on the outlet into a jar or similar and attaching a bit of tube to the vacuum port and sucking on it with the tap turned to on/reserve, if petrol flows the tap is good.

Hard to get a picture of it but this is how it should be connected.

Thanks very much for all your help, i found four pipes that go under the tank, 2 to the tap and 2 vent pipes.
the vacume pipe was off, refitted it and, it runs great now :D :D :D :D thanks everybody for all your help !!!!!!!.

Can't belive it i let it tickover for about 6 mins. and i saw steam coming from the front, a closer look and saw green antifreeze coming from the top rad core . so looks like i need a new rad, wonder whats going to go wrong next

Hurrah! :D

I've had some success with 'stop-leak' (araldite like 2-part epoxy) in the past but it has to be said only on the radiator sides. I tried to fix a leak with it once on core leak on a CBR125 and it didn't take.

You may be able to get a pro to fix it for a reasonable sum though[1], may be worth asking before you try something like stop-leak.

[1] It cost me 170 quid for a full recore of an SV650 radiator, just brazing up a minor leak may be quite cheap.
