Breather hose on fire

[BKtrike]

That cooling fan occupies a space that could push against the vent tube IIRC, that perhaps could have been the start of the problem, is that the area where the fire was?

No it was below the fan . I'm trying to load a pic of the burnt hose but having problems.

It is possible that hose got moved, my Freewheeler is routed way different than a TriGlide,

I hope u can get this sorted out with your dealer

With my 2019 Tri-Glide......That hose is NOT clamp/tied to a another hose it is free hanging strait down on the inside of the frame away from the pipes ...Also the hose is at least 5 inches longer .....And ends just below the bottom of the frame so its no where near the (Hot) exhaust pipes ....Unless the 2020 Tri-Glides were routed differently but i doubt it....:Shrug:...

From the picture, it route right over top of the catalytic converter. On my 20, it routed in side the frame, not outside.

I guess the California models are different. the tank vent hose on my trike is on the left side and goes to the charcoal cannister. the vent hose on the right side goes to the drain hole that is in the fill connection.

Dealer took bike today . They ordered a new vent hose but in the mean time put an extension on running the line down and away from the exhaust thru the bottom. It looks like about 6 inches of my hose burned off. It appears there were not enough ties holding the hose and somehow mine came out and landed on the exhaust. Dealer was very responsive and immediately took in my trike and repaired it . Back on the road in 15 mins. I would check to make sure your fuel vent hose is secured so not to lift out . Thanks everyone for your input! Ride safe

If I ever have a problem with my vent hose I will replace it from where the rubber hose goes down the frame with some steel line, problem solved
