where does this hose go? Griso 1100

<< < (2/2)

Ratso88:
Gray early type tip over valve. Prone to failing closed and not allowing the tank to vent.

Common fix it to replace it with a barbed brass connection from the hardware store.

Wayne Orwig:
Pretty sure it is NOT a tip over valve.

That valve allows a bit of pressure to build up in the tank. If it gets excessive, it pops open and relieves the pressure. They are known to make odd noises when the bike is parked in the garage and release some pressure.

When I got my Audace, a brand new engine had been installed. The tank vent had just a hose going down towards the ground. The dealership mechanic removed the original venting parts. Did they know better or lost the parts? One of the transmission bolts was missing, so who knows.
