    Newbie again! OK there is a hose about 1/4 inch in diameter on the left hand side of the bike by the starter. It has a couple preformed bends in it and a rubber connection on the end. It has air coming out of it with the bike running. I can't find anyplace where this plugs into. It's just pointing down towards the grounds currently in front of the rear tire. I will mention that my bike has 4 K&N filters,one for each carb, so I don't know if this should have been connected to an air filter box at some point.
    Thanks

    sounds like the crankcase breather hose, it normally connect to the left side of the engine and runs to the airbox, being you have pods i would just slap a 5 dollar breather filter onto it and ride on.

    Yes it sounds like that is supposed to be connected to the stock airbox. It is to help properly circulate the airflow of the engine/carbs. Something like that anyways. I don't know what you are supposed to do with it now that you are running pods though.

    I agree it's the breather tube. Put a breather on the end of it.

    Thanks all! I'll toss a filter on the end of it and put it in a safe place.
