Yes and no Alan..

The fuel lines "should" sit underneath the tank neatly, if you look at the underside of the tank you'll see a channel of sorts this is where the fuel lines are supposed to sit. It doesn't seal or help the coil/plug assembly in that way as such but I was informed that if not routed that way the fuel lines vibrate and rub the wiring at the plug cap and can cause a failure.

Should the fuel line, on the left hand side of the bike, literally sit underneath the tank, behind the bolts running along the top of the engine?
