Any one with a 2003 600rr? Need to know what to do with the 3 drain hoses coming out at bottom left. Im trying to get it ready for CCS racing. What did you guys do? Thanks

Congrats on owning the fattest, dragginest 600 on the market today !  All jokes aside, this is a pretty good bike in race trim.  I'm not 100% sure which hoses you're referencing, but the stock position is acceptable, one is gas overflow, one coolant reservoir overflow, and I believe one is a tank vent.  Personally, I remove the vent hose and route the other two into the lower, which is AMA spec, but if you leave them alone, that is fine too.  Be sure to flush your coolant at least once to get all the antifreeze out.  You'd be surprised how much stays in when you just drain it.  It isn't a big deal to spray a tiny bit of water on the track, but antifreeze is as slippery as a snot covered watermelon seed... and that's not good on the track.  Good luck in your season.
PS - I'm assuming you mean a CBR, not a ZX

That's right a cbr600rr. That's the information i was looking for. The CCS book was talking about a catch reservoir for the drain hoses. I was thinking that i had to add something other than the belly pan. Thanks..
