I brought my bike into the shop for a carb jet adjustment and tune up as a result of an exhaust swap.
I was noticing tonight that there's a rubber hose hanging down under the bike, near the left footpeg. It's attached to the bike frame with a loose zip tie (so someone wanted it there). It's just a rubber tube, open on the end, and going up into the carbs or air box somewhere. There's another one, shorter (from the other side of the bike?) that comes out near the clutch side cover.
Are these the snorkels? Does this mean my tech "pulled" them? Also, the one hanging down under the bike had some grease or engine oil on the end that was a little drippy. Does that seem weird? Maybe it was just a secondary transfer from something.
Thanks!
