| Hello All,
Just bought an 05 Swing that I just hauled up on an truck to UC Berkeley from San Diego to use for school. Made it all 500 miles just fine but when I went to back it down on a metal ramp from the carrier, it bottom out and severed a coolant hose draining pretty much all the coolant. It cut where a small hose meets a larger hose right next to the oil filter. I've been trying to see which hoses these are on parts schematics but can't quite sort it out, any help? |

| Kinda curious how bottoming out would cause the hose to sever. Post a good pic of the area and the gurus here may be of assistance. |

| It was bottomed out on the corner of the ramp and a lot of the scooter's weight was on this hose. My buddy proceeded to keep yanking the scooter to get it free but it ended up severing the hose. I can't take a picture because it's at my buddy's but I drew an arrow in the attached image where it cut.... - Attachments

| Little hose, big hose, or tee fitting?
None are super expensive. Big hose is the most expensive at $30 or so. Others are less than $10.
The hose that wraps around the oil filter is going from the tee to the oil cooler. The big hose is the lower radiator hose. |

| From what I remember, the little hose that wrapped around the oil filter and was connected to the larger hose. That junction is where it severed. |

| I had a small cut on top of that hose that would only leak under pressure. Atrip to the local auto parts store for a short piece of hose and the problem was fixed. |
