Hose that hangs underneath bike. Anyone know what
09/21/09 at 14:54:21
What is it for. I took the plug off and I think it was gas inside. Its not shown in the manuel anywhere so I do not know if I should have left it alone. Help. Sprout

You did right. That hose is to catch condensation and is best drained every time you change the oil.

Thanks so much Jedi. Contensation from what though. It was either gas or oil or watery oil. Weird place for a hose especially because its not documented anywhere that I could find.
Thanks again

If this is a condensation hose why not just leave it unplugged so you don't ahve to drain it. ???

I lost that plug years ago (don't tell the EPA) and that means I'm
an environmental criminal since I now leave small drops of oil
here and there everywhere I go and that job is allready reserved
for all oldsmobile, jeep & pontiac automobiles of the world (...oh, harleys too
)

I'm not certain, but I think the other end of that hose is in the airbox,
downstream
of the air filter.
If this is true, it means that there is now an unfiltered leak into what should be the clean air portion of your intake.

Comes off the airbox between snorkel & filter, IIRC.
One things certain, a guy could fire it up & unplug the tube. If it "Sniffed" all that crap back up into the engine, then we'd all know for sure where the plumbing enters the air.
Ill wait..

Plug it.... no matter which side of the filter, it's only inches from the ground. Lots of dust getting sucked into the air box.
My 2001 had it between engine and airfilter.
It drains the oil vapor condesnate that comes from the vent tube on top of the head. Yea, that's where they vent the crankcase. Both piston "blow-by" and the volume changes of that big piston going up & down.

I think the PO castrated my bike's "dangledribbler" when he removed the airbox!!!
