Title: what are these?

Underneath view with rear of bike to the right.

I couldn't find these in the manual. The hose on the right hangs down within three or four inches of the ground (why so long?) and the one on the left seems to just cap something off (?) What do they do and what, if any, servicing to them should I do?

I can't fathom the angle I'm looking,... but,.. it's a drain hose for the airbox...
It's a good habit to uncap it and drain at each oil change...(I forget to do it a lot, myself)...

I took the picture laying on my back with the back of the bike to the right- the black hose is being bent over the top of the mc jack. So, the black hose acts like a drip leg on a gas water heater then-collects condensation and debris? And the stubby one next to it?

Rijo,

The vent hose for the battery hangs down near the drain hose for the air box.
