I have a 2005 Honda VTR 1000f and I pulled the engine out of it to do the valve clearances about three months ago. I know I didn't have to do this but I thought the extras room would be better. I have put it back in and I'm not sure where three hoses go. I know where one of the ends go but not the other. There are two under the fuel tank and one on the water pump. I have attached photos of the hoses. Thanks

Water pump hose

Under fuel tank hoses

Looks like this is not a US market bike?? Also looks looks a 19L tank?? The hose in the first photo is the water pump weep discharge. Don't know how they are routed. Needs to be pointing down somewhere under the bike. The others are the tank vent and overflow, IIRC. If that is what they are, they are run down under the faring and exit to atmosphere behind the chin cowl or faring if you like.
It's possible that I am mistaken about all of this, so be aware.

Thanks xeris for the info. I live in Australia so it would be an Australia or Japanese bike. I thought that one at the water pump must just be a vent. I also think that the far left hose on the tank is also a vent but the middle one I'm not sure. If you drop the hose past the bottom of the fuel tank it pisses out fuel so I'm not sure if it connects some where or I have done something wrong.

Not sure why the bigger of the two tubes exiting the tank would be pissing fuel. It has to be the overflow. Just residual fuel in the tube? Tank full and at an angle where fuel is getting to the overflow? You could test it by pouring a a small amount of fuel into the space surrounding the filler opening and see if it drains out of that tube.
Take a look here.

Thank you xeris for the info. I think your right. I have had the tank in all sorts of positions therefore filling up the overflow hose. Cleared hose and all good. Thank you for the help
