hi guys,
is there a hose routing diagram somewhere about??
ive checked all the manuals, but no joy there,
i have 2 spare hoses on the left side of the bike, both running down and as far as i can tell are drain hoses,

any ideas??

also while im at it, where is the fuel pump located?? it appears that the 400 doesnt have one.  well one that i can spot :D
grrrr

The 400 does not have a fuel pump. 

the 2 hoses are vent hoses that run off the carbs from the casting at the back end of the enrichers.  i'd venture to say that 90% of the Visions out there no longer bother with these hoses...

The 400 doesn't need the fuel pump because the shorter cylinders locate the carbs lower. The float bowls are below the fuel level at the bottom of the tank.

arhh that would explain it,
the 550 must be a real arse to do the valve clearances then,
the 400 was bad enough
grrrr
