does anybody happen to have a vacuum hose schematic for a 2012 rt limited. I would like to check and make sure I got all the vacuum hoses checked. I have only been able to find 4. (2 on the left side of the engine, real little things, 1 on the left side that goes from the crankcase to the black box, may actually be a crankcase vent. and the one on the right side that goes to the purge valve. If those are the only 4 let me know.
I am not sure if I have a vacuum leak or not, just keeps stalling, thats why i was hoping to find a schematic that would show every vacuum line so i could check each and every hose.
Didn't you just finish a canisterectomy on your bike? Did it stall before? If it didn't, then I would check back thru that process? Have looked closely at the 2 tiny ones on the left side? Those develop pin holes and cracks and should be replaced just as a matter of course with silicone hoses. Even if they don't leak now they will.

i replaced both those little hoses with silicone hoses and tested the purge valve but it didnt change the stalling issue. But since I have it all apart i just decided to take remove the canister just in case but i cant test it cause i am waiting on new wires. already got new plugs in. I am hoping it was one of them and then fire it up and it pures like a kitten.
yes, I have taken quite a few pictures. What has me worried though is the fact I have not found a serious problem, no busted lines or anything wrong so i am hoping that it is one of the spark plug wires was going bad or something i cannot visually see.

I have a 2011 - is there a "kit" of the necessary silicone hoses I could acquire and keep on hand in the event this issue comes up?

There is no kit, just go to an auto parts store and buy a length of 3mm vacuum hose about 8" should be enough and replace them, if they haven'been done already. Your machine is 11 years old. If you are not the original owner it may have already been done. I bought mine at NAPA,but had to order a roll of it, it cost $6.00 but that was 7 years ago.

Thanks, we had the same issue (2012 RT) and I followed your advice and ordered a length of hose (before even looking at the old ones), and sure enough they were cracked. Replacing them seems to have fixed the issue.
