I will be doing some maintenance on the 1500SE this afternoon and I noticed that the line coming off the gas cap is torn. I believe this is just an overfill line or a vacuum line on some sort.

Ron Ayers has the part (11) listed at $20. It seems to be a braided line.

Can anyone tell me what the function of this line is and could I just use regular fuel/vacuum line to replace it with? Or do I need the braided line in there?

Thanks!

Will be replacing Air filter, fuel filter and spark plugs.

It's a vapor collection line. Any correct size fuel line will work.

Thanks, used fuel line to replace it. I didn't realize how many hoses on this bike. Hopefully no vacuum leaks that I have to hunt down. That could take weeks...

No, not weeks, just something like 15 hours!
