    So not only does this drain , drain it also sucks in none filtered air straight to the carbs. What say you geniuses?

    My apologies for being busy taking care of household chores.

    Air does not get sucked into the airbox drain. I just confirmed this by starting my motorcycle and placing a bit of tissue below the drain hole. There is no airflow into the drain at any engine speed.

    If you have concerns, feel free to add a filter at the end of the drain hose. You may need to periodically remove said filter to allow the airbox to drain as intended.

    Your impatience and rudeness is becoming tiresome. Please tone it down.
