are u talking about the battery drain hose?there could be some white goop if your battery acid is overflowing for some reason?if its that change that battery fast ,before it dies on u while on the road,that acid will burn your hands like mad so dont touch it!

if it is the air box drain hose u some how had some water and oil mix in the airbox ,that will turn into somewhat of a goop.

when u said near the inside peg,did u mean the left passenger peg?

The longer tube is commonly called a crankcase breather tube. It will typically have a small amount of oil in it. If the fluid is white, that means a small amount of water is present in the tube and has mixed with the oil. This can happen if, for instance, the bike is ridden in the rain. No cause for concern, unless you see a lot of water in here. Incidentally, I empty mine at every oil change.
