I believe it goes straight down, pretty much. It's a vent line and it ends near the shock linkage with the cluster of other hoses... da Vermonster

My bike has California emissions. and that tube has a hose connected to it and the hose runs back to my evap can on the left side of the bike. Here is a link from a guy that removed his emissions. Theres a good diagram in his article. http://www.klr650.marknet.us/decalif.html . Hope this is what you were talking about. -Mike- ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Rick McCauley To: dsn_klr650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 11:24:07 AM Subject: Re: [DSN_KLR650] Hoseless tube So is it just a spill hose of some sort? I have never seen any signs of escaped fluid under the seat. It also seems strange that anything, attached to a gas tank, is vented to the atmosphere.

That is exactly what I am talking about, except that mine is Non - Californy. So I just need a hose that runs down the frame to the little rubber collector that all the other hoses go to for ground exiting Thanks everyone. Rick A17
