Can some one have look at their vacuum hose from the fuel pump that goes to the right hand inlet stub. When the bike is at idle the hose - on mine - is visibly pulsing/ collapsing, blip the throttle and it all opens up
Is this normal ?
The other vacuum hose does not behave like this - it maybe I just need a thicker walled hose but if someone can check what theirs are doing please would be great.

Re: Vacuum hose
I replaced the original rubber hoses when I bought mine almost two years ago, I used an automotive silicon vacuum hose, 5mm ID, they seem to be holding up well, also much cheaper than OEM hoses if you can get them.

Re: Vacuum hose
Remember the fuel pump vacuum hose will be pushing fluid but the other is only opening the fuel tap to allow fuel to flow.

Re: Vacuum hose
Have ordered new hose to be on safe side , seeing it pulse wasn’t too bad as attached to fuel pump but the appearance of it virtually collapsing didn’t seem right
