jwillie0950 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Ok so the big cooling lines are obvious but where im a little confused is the small cooling line is from the resevoir under the seats two tubes the one on top of the resevoir and the one on bottom. Also there is a tube right about the water pump and an opening on the back of the cases that im also not sure about. I have some pics to help illustrate what im talking about. Lastly the two small lines coming from the radiator itself i have no clue on. Im probly overthinking this but i just want to make sure everythings right. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Don't need the small hoses. The ones that go to the cases are crankcase vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Don't need the small hoses. The ones that go to the cases are crankcase vents. That's about a worthless post. Why even bother? There's a small line that goes from the top of the cylinder head to the top of the radiator. NOT to the radiator cap neck. Throw the coolant overflow bottle in the trash. You don't need it. Run the hose from the radiator cap neck straight down, and through the bracket on the frame that the front fender support brace bolts to if you had full fenders. Snip the hose off just below the frame. The ones at the back of the trans and by the waterpump are vents. They tee together and the hose goes up to the steering stem hoop and then back down a little ways. You only need 1 vent. The 1 by the waterpump can be eliminated. There is a very nice billet vent block off piece sold on ebay for $10. To remove the vent hose fitting, you have to remove the clutch cover and pound the fitting inward. Back it up with a piece of pipe so you don't bust the cover. To find the blockoff, search ebay for banshee vent with cheapest items first.

jwillie0950 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Alright thanks for the detailed response. So can i just let the line from the back of the trans hang down or does it need to be looped up the steering shaft and conected to the little metal tube where another hose is connected to? Sorry for the vague explanation im not sure exaxtly what its called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillie0950 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I guess its called the t fitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 If you keep the vent by the waterpump, then you need to tee the 2 hoses together and go up to the steering stem hoop and back down. If you eliminate the vent near the waterpump, you can let the trans vent just hang down the back of the motor, BUT, if you ever tip the bike up vertical so it's resting on the grab bar, trans oil may run out. Personally, I would just run the single line up to the steering stem hoop and back down a little ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillie0950 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks starwriter that was the most helpful post ive seen yet! Do you know what the two small metal pieces of tubing extending in opposite directions are and their purpose? The only reason im asking is there is one line attached to the right side and nothing to the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillie0950 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 It is right below where the bars connect to the stem on the front side of the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
