Front shock replacement on R1150R.

["Pete Schinkel" <schinkel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone know what happens if the tank vent hoses get switched when
removing/replacing the tank on a 02 R1150R?  

I neglected to note which hose which hose connected to what when I removed
the tank.  Clymers and Haynes both warn not to switch the hoses, but both
neglect to explain why.  

Thank had to come off to replace the front shock on which the OEM spring was
sacked after 24,000 miles.  I replaced the OEM with a Wilbers which has
preload and compression adjustment.  I have not ridden it yet, but the
Wilbers' spring raised the bike up sufficiently so that I can now use the
side stand without worry the bike will fall over to the right.

Wondering about hose routing?
