Help please

[SILVERONE]

While cleaning the chain tonight I noticed a rubber pipe in the rear of the engine area that has one end not connected, the other end of it is connected to a T junction that has 2 other rubber pipes coming of it, one connected to the fuel tank and the other passing just in front of the clutch release cylinder then disappearing to back of the left fairing.
The stray pipe is about 7mm with a internal bore of about 3mm, it pass through a bracket fixed to the r/h side of the frame just above the engine number.
''now for the piss take bit'' if I suck or blow down it there is no resistance, but it tastes of petrol fumes :blush: .
Printed on the pipe is T1200 and TB-m.
It's a fuel injected B/bird and it appears to run ok still ?.
It's not the fuel over flow pipe or that other one that comes out next to it (breather, I think) as they are still in place.

I know I should of posted this on the Help forum but I want to get this sorted tonight so I thought I might get a quicker response on here :h

Thanks in anticipation.

it's a breather pipe you twonk
keep sucking though or you'll get a air lock in your fuel system causing the bike to loose power
oops sorry you already got that as it's not a bluun :neenaw:

Silverone,

I just posted a couple of days ago with the same thing!

Eventually sussed it out (with some helpful advice) - I think?

If you follow the brownish pipe upwards from where it goes through the frame bracket I believe it should conect to a breather spigot adjacent to a larger black tube on the bottom of the fuel tank. On mine that end was actually sitting loose behind the engine. Just before going onto the bottom of the tank it's attached to a clip which in turn is attached to annother peice of rubber pipe.
On mine the routing was so tight that as soon as I must have lifted the tank it had pulled the pipe away from below the tank.
I've attached the clip to a different pipe and reconnected the brown pipe back onto the bottom of the fuel tank.
If you now follow back from that point on the fuel tank it goes to the fram bracket and then over to the "T" piece on the left where it splits to go down out of sight around the sprocket area and the other piece off the "T" goes down behind the swingarm where it's a "free" end.
Mine ran OK before I found this and still runs OK now!!
:yo:
:beer:

Next time I'll read the full post before I jump in !!

Youv'e got exactly the same as mine except I had the two ends loose.
You've also assured me that connecting one of th ends to the tank was the right thing to do !!

:bang:

Thanks for the replies :bow: BUT if that's the case (breather pipe) why dose it route from the L/side of the bike to a bracket on R/side only to come back again to the L/side of the bike just to dangle down by the sprocket on the same side it originally comes from :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

I suppose there is a good reason some where ???
