OIL HOSE ROUTING 3.8
GENERAL
See Figure 3-45. The oil tank has four hoses. The drain hose
(2) attaches to a fitting on the left side. From the top of the
tank, the vent hose (3) runs along the right side to below the
battery tray. The return hose (4) runs along the left side and
joins the bottom feed hose (1) under the battery tray.
See Figure 3-46. The feed (1) and return hoses (3) run
together between the swingarm mount block and crankcase,
beneath the engine and forward to the oil pump. The feed
hose attaches to the rear most oil pump fitting; the return
hose connects forward and above. To prevent unnecessary
wear, the hoses have a fitted cover.
After diverging from the feed and return hoses, the vent hose
is routed beneath the starter. It continues on to the right side
of the motorcycle. See Figure 3-47. Here the vent hose (1)
connects to an elbow fitting (3) on the gearcase cover (4).
