Hi all,

i have noticed that there is a tube coming from, what i believe is the airbox. it just hangs down like that.

does anyone know what this tube is for.

Thanks in advance.

I am guessing you are talking about the airbox drain hose. Probablly about 1/2" in diameter and about 3" long...atleast on my 01

Thats what I was thinking
no this is something different...

its not that red drain tube thing for water and stuff

this is like a tube thats black... a hose haha. thats it

it comes out somewhere from the airbox or somewhere around there.

i noticed that it was just hanging there one day i was pressure washing.

i have ridden a few times and nothing actually seems to be wrong, but just wondering what it could be.

if your looking at my rubi from the back the carb overflow tube runs downs from behind the air box (the carb) and just kinda hangs there. maybe thats it
Sounds like the crankcase vent tube.
What size hose is it? The carb drain is small(about 1/8") the crankcase vent is about 1/2".
i would say that the tube would be 1/8" its pretty small and it just hangs there.
If it's only 1/8 it's most likely the carb drain hose. It runs from the bottom of the carb, not the airbox.
I agree its the carb vent hose... it is supposed to be there. It allows excess gas to run out of the carb...
ok, thanks all.

i have just found out it is the carb vent hose.

thanks.
