hi all, ive been rebuilding my bike for about two years now and my memorys gona bit rusty, i pulled the side stand out of a box earlier and noticed two rubber pipes attached to it, im assuming that one runnes to the air box lid looking at at my photos i took but the other i havent got a clue, any one know? all i can see is that they both run to the left side of the genny casing upwards.

Carb overflow or battery drain?

just had a look at it again and one of the pipes has a t connector, i dont think its carb overflow their a couple of short tubes

yep one is the air box lid and other is the breather for your tank , well at least on my bike thats how it is

from looking at other threads, im thinking that a pipe( which i think a previous owner may of cut in half) goes from the top of the fuel tank into a t piece then from the t one goes to the sidestand and the other not quite sure....... but do the three pipes and t piece sit under the carb or above them?

not my bike but a friends nc has the pipe from air box lid gos straight to the side stand ,

and the the pipe that comes off the tank breather which has the t piece on, the shorter pipe then sits down the left side of the alternator cover , and the long bit gos to the side stand , ive always been told there both breathers
and the pipes kinda sit between the frame and engine , i put the pipes so there just sit above the bottom of carbs on my bike
