coolant reservoir tube routing?

Finished my attempt to adjust valves, then took the Legend on the road to check her out. Midway thru the ride I notice a long black tube hanging loose on the right side. Came home and followed it to the top of the coolant overflow reservoir. The manuals don't show a routing for this hose. I assume it does not connect to anything, but can anyone help me out on this one?

I think this is just the coolant reservoir overflow/breather. Apart from connecting to the reservoir, it does not connect to anything at te other end, just vents to atmosphere.

You should be able to run it down beside the rear shock, along with a bunch of other tubes.

This tube on mine was zip tied to the frame, follows the main backbone tube down to near the rear shockie.

Thanks guys. That is what I did - snake it along the frame to the rear shock area. I must have snipped the cable tie, as I had used a couple to suspend all the stuff above the valve cover.
