Urgent

I have searched, but to no avail, Has anyone got a pic of which pipes go where on the fuel tank? think ive got a pipe wrong, engine running but got bad fueling, and all its had is the tank off for a couple of weeks. No noises from cam chains or knocking or anything, just popping and struggling for fuel. Its not right somewhere, gunna whip tank off in couple of hours

You may have done what I did at the weekend...

Have you got the vaccuum pipe on the drainage hole facing downwards? It needs to go on the thinner outlet, think it faces to the left if you are looking forwards.

Thanks to Chris for sorting this one out for me. Hope it solves your probs too..

Nope, it's only a drain hole.

No Honda put it there to test us all, and ive failed

On an up too, cam chain tensioners must of been read for changing, the engine is noticably quieter too Wonder how much longer they would of held out for ???

Ha ha! Glad you got it sorted... Seems to be a common mistake!

Running sweet as a nut, just got in after a quick blast....50 miles covered lol. I put a 3.5m shock spacer in while i had it apart,and also reset the spring to setting 2 and damping to 1/2 turn out, rear end feels sweet, front is planted and the bike tips in and out of corners like on rails :) rides the best it ever has really happy lol, couldnt stop grinning. dunno how i used to ride it before with the spring on 5
