Is there suppose to be a "lose tube"?

[markie539]

I was looking at my 2009 gz250 and I noticed there are two tubes under the bike. One is capped and one is not. Is this normal or did the non-capped fall off from somewhere?

This is where the other end of tube leads to. Looks like the fuel valve?

Any help would be great

Yes,
no cap = carb overflow/vent (? actually I'm not completely certain about its function. Someone else may chime in). Anyway, it IS supposed to be there, like that.
capped = air filter housing drain. Every now and then, put something under it, pop the cap and tlet the oil/water/grime mix drip out. Put cap back.

if its the tube that comes off the carb bottom of the floet bowl is open its ok there should be a small cap /plug on the canister.the other hose is the over flow for the fuel tank also to be open on the end

Now I know that this guy's just a troll. He's no idea what he's talking about. I don't even think he's American/english. Probably never had a bike in his life, just looked at the other posts about GZs.

Have to agree. Why is he replying to posts over a year old too?
Too bad we can't tell where he is posting from.
