Tank Breather Hose

  1. This tank breather hose seems to have gone brittle, can it just be replaced with similar or is it Ducati specific? Any recommendations for a supplier?

    The valve itself appears to be effing expensive, part number 59320041A

    Hopefully I won't need to replace that as well..

  2. And the vent tube guide that sits round the hose where it enters the top fork nut is a valve stem oil seal - obviously doesn't have to be a new one!

  3. The hose should actually goe via the frame headstock infill (the plastic bit).

  4. Is that a triple 8 specific feature though?
     
  5. I don't thinks so but would need a parts catalogue for 900SS to really be sure. Through the headstock pin just seems a poor option given that it is consistently rotating agains the breather pipe. I also see 851/888 bikes with this but it is not as per the factory.
     
  6. I would go with Tygon too, as it's the best Ethanol proof hose I know of.
     
  7. I am sure the 900ss goes through the head stock. I also have some kind of seal around the hose to secure it. 20240822_205053.jpg
