Hello everyone!

I have a quick question about the gasoline outlet house coming from the gas tank screw cover. When I bought the bike a couple of weeks ago, the hose is not connected to anything. Is this just a breather tube or overfill control of sorts, or should this be connected somewhere. If it's not supposed to be directly connected to somewhere, is there a particular way to route the house so that it isn't simply dangling on the side?

Just a vent hose. If it's disconnected, it may be because it's pinched or clogged. You can route the hose anywhere you chose, anywhere you think gas would be okay to drain, or leave it disconnected or with a short dirt bike style vent cap ($12-$20)

Thanks, wasn't sure if it had to be connected anywhere. Doesn't look clogged or anything, because every now and then I see some drips of gas come out of it (might have overfilled the tank the other day a bit)
