Wy didn't you guys tell me ...

... that there were supposed to be two hoses sticking out near the centerstand.

I was prepping the bike for my first relatively long outing (200 mi) tomorrow morning when I noticed two errant hoses sticking out of the bottom. After searching for the place to reconnect them, I realized that they were cut off at an angle. Checked through the service manual and found references to the two fuel hoses that are supposed to be hanging right where they were.

Live and learn ...

if we told you everything at one time it would be too much for you...

Oh grasshopper.... when you can snatch the pebble from my hand you may leave the Temple.

Isn't that 3 hoses stickin out?

 

[OneTrack]

You made me go look.:Flip:

 

[Scorphonic]

I thought it was four???

Hahahahahaha.

At least you will never forget the two hoses!!

Can't see what's so funny. What I can see is 3 hoses on my bike, 3 in the manual..:thumbup:

Must be different on an '07 ... I can't even find "Adjusting the engine idle speed" in the 2007 owner's manual.

Two hoses:
- fuel tank breather hose
- fuel tank overflow hose

If you discover a new hose, do you get to name it?

 

[GConn]

Can't find it's name. In the manual it says:
"all hoses (i.e., fuel hose, fuel tank breather hose, fuel tank overflow hose)"

Obviously it's the "fuel hose" but WTH does that mean????

Anyways, I saw some oil drops once coming out of the third one(it was oil for sure, thick substance, not fuel). It was weird, but the dealer/stealer said it was "fumes" or something and done nothing about it....If it's of any relevance, it was over 105 degrees and the bike was working hard for 2 hours. Never had a similar incident since

That's about everything I know on the issue

 

[GConn]

Oh, and I believe the 06 and 07 had actually no difference on the engine. A new remapping attempt was claimed but I doubt that. Anyone riden both so he can inform us????

I know there usually is a hose for oil to drain if you over fill it. My other yamaha bikes have had them and my friends zx-6 has one.................crap....now i gotta go look at my bike to see these hoses.

I've already had one hose sliced off by the chain.

It's in the service manual

According to the PDF file service manual you can download from the stickie section, under "cable routing" for my 04 FZ6:

3 hoses:

1. fuel tank breather hose
2. fuel tank drain hose
3. coolant reservoir tank breather hose

I'm too lazy to actually run out and check at the moment, but I do believe there are 3 hoses under the bike.
