It's the catheter hose Zuki pt no 76-7753-0051.

It should never be removed

[motogp_nut]

Ah, ok, thanks Large. I'll just put up with it then!
Cheers.

get a breathable fuel cap and then you can rip the hose out and plug the hole..

It's really a breather hose thingy. I think the hose is there to vent the petrol fumes away from your face.

Man, that thing would give me the shits sitting there like that. Or my luck some asshole would walk past and rip it out.
whats the other end attatched to?

The same thing on dirt bike fuel tanks. You forget it's there after 1 ride.

I took mine off and got a Z-9 fuel fliter and opened it up to get the fliter out and glued a rubber grommet in the base then stuck it on the fitting in the tank .... was all good till i lost it down the island on the way into town .. This conversion adds about 5 Hp..

You could always just put a gas pilot light near the outlet so if any fumes did escape you could burn them off before they blew into your face.

Nah.... I didnt like the hose out of that breather point so I bought a dirt bike breather nib from shop to replace it...

Kinda dresses it up instead of the hose being tucked away into steering stem.
