    H, I have forgotten to reinstall my two tank breathers hoses on the left hand side, one has the one-way valve.
    If I am looking at the left side of the bike, which way round do they go and what is the best routing for these and the coolant bottle overflow.
    Small details I didn't record when stripping the bike.
    Luckily I can remember where all the bolts go - or bagged them in separate lots.
    Thanks for any help.

    The 2 hoses are the fuel tank drain (to drain water from around the filler neck) and tank vent with a roll over valve. I think the fuel tank drain is the front one. One may have been marked with a white dot to avoid mixing them up? Later models used different bore hoses so that they could not get mixed up. It might be worth checking for blockages within the tank as they can clog up over time. I use a bicycle inner brake cable which is flexible enough to go round the bends inside the tank if you use the thinnest cable available. This will also confirm which is the drain when the cable pops out of the other end. All the hoses tuck down the left hand side in a gap behind the water pump and should be visible just behind the top of the side stand.
