    Hi i was wondering if anybody knew if there is a vacuum hose to go to the fuel shutoff valve or if it just a fuel line on an 86 VF500f. I know theres no fuel pump but im not sure if theres anyother lines going to the shutoff valve.

    There is a vacuum hose, but I believe that it connects to the outside of the carbs on the left side. When I last had my tank off, I'm pretty sure that there was just a single fuel line from the shutoff valve. I can double check things if necessary. Let me know.

    OK, I checked my bike as well as the service manual and there is a single fuel line to the shutoff valve. There is also a single vacuum line that runs from the left side cylinder intake to the diaphragm. The diaphragm is on the back of the shutoff valve, so there are two lines total.
