Is there suppose to be a "lose tube"?

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?


Tube in question is behind bolt


tube in question is in front of chain


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.

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.
