I recent tried removing my battery from my 2005 KLR 650. As I was
trying to pull it out, a large piece the battery holder broke off and
this strange tube that I hadn't noticed before flew off the bike and
landed on the ground.
I uploaded some photos of this tube here:

The photos show me attaching both ends of the tube to where I THINK
they should go after I replace the battery. If I am wrong someone
please let me know.
Also, what is the purpose of this tube?
Thanks,
Elliot

This is the battery vent tube. You have it connected properly. This
style of battery needs to vent and you need to make sure the tube is
routed properly down below so as not to get corrosive juju on things.
Some people don't connect this tube at all and report strange holes in
their pants in the Area 51 region.
