Felis Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Started to fiddle around and arrival of the Haynes manual gets me very excited. 1. Every fastener is rusted/rounded. Excellentey. 2. Removed the tank so I could, er, clean underneath. All went well, especially as two of the mounting bolts were missing. Trouble is the H manual says to disconect the breather hose - but there's no sign of it. I have the speedo cable and the instrument wiring coming up but no breather hose. Am I missing something here or do models vary? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I've never disconnected a breather hose from mine, either. AFAIK, the 650 Drag breathes through the fuel cap. I just looked at the manual myself. I do see the hose they're talking about in the diagram... but I ain't got one on my bike, and the Mrs doesn't have one either!

jont Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I must have a de-luxe model or something, as mine's got one! I've pulled it off many a time (oo-err ) Is the short metal pipe there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman fez Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 the tank breather hose is under the clocks, you should have 2 plugs ( one for instruments one for illumination ) speedo cable and a hose that goes on the vent from the tank ( breather ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Nope mine dont have one either! maybe some other twit before us removed it and didn't put it back on, or Yamaha run out of stock when building them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
