Missing hose? (Answered) Loud occasional clicking?
The max has been a dream bike of mine for awhile. I found a 2006 with a meager 2000 miles on it and have been doing my best to double that before the season is out This bike is too nice of a machine to live as a garage ornament!
Anyway in putting around town and getting used to the bike I've noticed a couple things.
Number 1 is : http://imgur.com/xIvJT,8sGgI there seems there should be a hose on the left side that is gone. It looks like maybe it would go into the carb but the bike isn't running like a vacuum line is absent so I don't know? I grabbed a service manual but I can't really tell based on diagrams etc of what may or may not go there.
Number 2 : While the bike is running I'll occasionally hear a loud click, sounds almost like a shift except I'm not shifting and it's not quite that loud. I hear it sometimes when the ignition key is switched to on and isn't actually running so I'm thinking it's the fuel pump activating. I know the wurr in startup is the servo check for vboost, but the pump should also top off the carbs. I'm thinking that's the click since it's not every single time the key is turned. It's similar if not the same sound (hard to be sure since I hear one without engine noise, and think I hear it again with engine/exhaust/wind/traffic/etc). Just curious if that's normal and should be so audible.
Thanks all.
