Quick Question about Breather pipes.
 
Totally overlooked it when dismantling the curvy but quick question about connecting up the breather pipes.

I'm refereing to the small black rubber pipe which has 1 small stub, going into a T connecter which branches out into 2 more black rubber tubes one very long, one not so long. Do they connect up as follows?

The small Tube connects to the nipple at the base of the fuel tank (near the pivot point)
The Longest Pipe runs up the left hand side of the bike, around the top and into the top of the coolant bottle
The middle length pipe is the out let and this runs down to the right hand side of the crank case just by the position of your right foot?

Correct?

Does no one know, or is no one qualified to post a reply?

Shouldn't this be in SV Talk, Tuning & Tweaking?

And a 23 minute delay isn't that big.

But from memory that sounds reasonable. I've had a look through my dismantle photos and while I can see the exit pipe and I know it is the tank rain drain bit, I don't have a picture of the T piece or what it connects to. However if I were stood in my garage I could have a better look.

I really am that impatient :)
Cheers though, if you do find out for sure what the rest does give it another post.

Was meant to be, must have clicked one lower down the list. Never mind no harm done :)

Depends - having listened to Rai I don't know who should be allowed to.

Re: Quick Question about Breather pipes.
 
You're too kind, thank you.

For clarification specifically they are:
Short hose into bottom of tank - drain from filler well.
Long hose to expansion tank - vent allowing atmospheric pressure to act on coolant so system can refill on contraction, also allows overflow somewhere safe if the system pressure rises excessively high, i.e. so it doesn't spray boiling hot coolant in your face/nuts/whatever.
