Routing for 'side hose' on fuel tank

I removed my fuel tank while replacing my triple clamp. When I did so, the hose on the left side of the tank was so tight I couldn't pull it off, so I just pulled it out of the bike instead. Now I can't figure out the routing back down through the bike, and the service manual isn't much help =( Could someone kindly post a couple of pictures of how the hose on the outside-left side of the fuel tank routes down through the bike?

Aye I saw that. Least we finally know what its called: "Fuel Tank Breather Hose". But I can't make heads or tails of that bottom-left diagram.

the tube runs up and over that tube that the rear shock mounting point is connected to then straight down, through the inside of the swingarm to a small bracket they have welded to the frame where the tube exits. it ends up at the same place as the coolant overflow tube.

Solid, thanks. Last bit -- how does it route after the lower guide clip past/over/under/around the idle speed knob?

look at the lower left pic in the manual on 17-8. just pass the hose through the 2- #21 guides that they have listed.

Roger that. One other question re: the fuel tank. I took mine off about a week ago and now can't remember whether the fuel level sensor has a hose connection or just the electrical connection. It seems to have a hose nipple, and there's a stray hose near there...but I don't remember disconnecting anything from it. See pics -- the hose I'm talking about is marked in orange. Does B on the hose connect to B on the sensor?

there should be no hose connected to that nipple on the sensor. the tube you reference in orange is the carb vent which runs straight back and is not connected to anything on the end.
