Default Coolant Hose Routing

Hey all - been a while! I just acquired a new project - a 92 CBR F2, the guy got half through a fighter rebuild and had to stop, so I've got a good base to build from. First confusion - there's a coolant hose that attaches to the rear of the head, between carbs 1 & 2, and I cannot for the life of me figure out where it goes. Does anyone have any sort of coolant hose diagram?

Thanks!

I comes from a little below/between carb 1 & 2? It goes to the top of the water pump.

hmm. ok. there was already a hose attached to the top of the water pump, it goes to the bottom of the coolant reservoir. and the hose from the top of the coolant reservoir goes to the radiator cap.

that's how they are now, but that's not to say that they're correct.

thanks!

any other ideas, anyone? I'm totally at a loss, because if what Frank says is true, then I have another hose that's not routed correctly.

currently, the small coolant hoses are like so:

The radiator cap and the top of the coolant reservoir have a hose between them.
The top of the water pump and the bottom of the coolant reservoir have a hose b/t them.
The hose nipple on the back of the cylinder head has nothing attached to it.

The large hoses look right, I just can't figure out the small hoses.

anyone? Bueller?

Looks like he has got them mixed up and it should run to the water pump.

This is the best i can do for you, just a screen shot pic...

Mine is correct, little hose at the rad cap goes to bottom of resavoir, that way it sucks it back in as it cools. Top of resavoir spews out on the ground if it get to full. Top of water pump goes to the back of the head.
