Hoses

Post by livingjft »

Hi all,
I have a 1998 XT600E, and there are a couple of hoses which aren't connecting to anything where the fuel overdose is near.
Does anyone know of what these hoses are and where they should be connected?
Thanks,
Rob

There are two hoses exiting behind the carb if this is what you mean. Route them down to exit safely behind the engine, check they don’t foul the chain. Overflows.

Also seem like overflow hoses to me

There actually should be a bendable metal bracket on the frame where you could tuck them safely, pic below:

thanks for the replies :) There's one hose that I can't figure out where it goes - it has a closed end. Is there a vacuum hose that should be attached somewhere? Thanks again for all your help!
