    Coolant Hose Route Empty Coolant Hose Route

    Post by Anigai Sun 12 Jun 2016, 1:10 pm

    My CB is now nearly all back together but for the life of me I cannot figure out from my pictures how to route the coolant hoses under the tank. I think I may have put the rubber blanket thing the wrong way around with the large opening on the front left side instead of the front right side.

    Has anybody got a few under the tank pictures that might help?

    Cheers.

    Ok I figured it out there after a bit and with a little bending it all went back together.

    We're on the home straight with the many little hoses and last of the electrics to go on before the carbs get dropped back in.

    Agreed, super useful thanks a lot ceejay.

    I've most of that part done but for the life of me I couldn't figure out where somethings actually route.

    Looking at those makes me a little more confused.
    I see where your rubber blanket is there but mine seems way longer and has a large rectangular hole in the very centre of it towards the carbs end and I'm not sure what its for.

    I wanted to finish the bike off this weekend but I'm in no great rush to do it and I don't mind spending an hour or so a day after work for the rest of the week to get it up to scratch.

    Hmm not sure, maybe that rubber thing varies depending on year? That is a 1999 X. Also you never know mine could have been messed around with by previous owner at some point and pieces not put back in!

    I took the photo's on my phone a couple years ago because I was about to pull it apart and know I have a 2 second memory drunken

    My memory is just as bad but my main problem is I have a hard time remembering that when i do stuff so you can see my problem Laughing

    I'm hoping to have the whole thing back together before the weekend but I'm trying to be optimistic with that.

    My only chance to work on it until then is when i get home from work.
