    well last weekend i put the 630sm on a 450 mile ride in 1 day. it was 300 plus miles of twisty roads and the slab back on the freeway home at night. i was accompanied by 600 and 1000 cc superbikes. i have to say it stood its ground in the turns. on the straight acceleration... well its a thumper. what would one expect. the bike was constantly at 60 to 80 mph. this is with. 14t front sprocket. im glad i did not have a mechanical issue.

    though when i got gas. i overfilled the tank. i did notice gas squirting out through the overflow. thing is i notice it was no plumbing. I dont think there ever was since i bought it. the gas squirted on the hot radiator and siZzled. i was holding my breath hoping it wouldnt drip on the hot header.

    anyony have a diagram of how or where the overflow tube is routed?

    a picture would be great..

    TIA

    A metre long rubber tube runs from the overflow exit down past the left side of the horizontal frame bar (the one the gas tank rests on) and then runs down the length of the vertical frame pipe (in front of the engine and behind the front mud guard) and ends just below the bottom of the engine.
    The vertical frame pipe in front of the engine has loops / rings on it that the overflow pipe routes through.
