Could someone please tell me what this hose [circled in green] is? I was cleaning the gas tank and realized this hose is just pointing up in the air, to the left of the battery. It's not the tank vent hose. It goes under the carb and up the right side of it to somewhere I can't see.

Thanks a bunch guys, so stoked to get my bike running.

Seriously, no one knows what this hose is? I haven't started up my bike in a year, come on, yer killin me.

EDIT: Got it! It's an overflow tube, just as I thought.

For people searching, see this video for an explanation of all carb tubes/hoses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36tNKXz53IM @ 1:18 [keywords: clear red hose tube]

I'm pretty sure that's a wiring harness. It looks like the one I ziptied the switch to for my LEDs. You're talking about the beige colored one right?

Squeeze it if you're not sure

Edit: Oh nvm you have a pregen. You never know though, maybe it's still a wiring harness?

The original factory manuals have diagrams with all the wire and hose routing on them

I think you could manage to get your hands dirty for 5 minutes and trace the hose out to see where it goes...

I did, as I said it goes up by the carb into somewhere I couldn't see. I wasn't about to take the carb off to find a hose, that's a PITA, I found it in pictures.
