Just pulled apart the air box to do my Delete. Well was looking and the throttle body and noticed a little port
or tube coming out of the right side, but it had no hose to it. Is there supposed to be one, and if so where does it go. Also the Fuel tank breather tube, does it just run down the frame and not connect to anything? Thanks for the help.
 
plug it its for cali emission

thanks! how about the fuel tank breather tube? Should it connect to something or does it just run down the frame and connect to nothing.
 
^since that was brought up, does anyone have a pic or anything of EXACTLY where the fuel vent goes to? When I bought my bike the guy had the fuel fent cut and it just ended on top of the intake box, but he gave me the plastic line that he claimed the rubber line connected to and said it ran to near the swingarm, but I can't figure it out....
 
Look down at the left foot peg Like anrkizm is saying and it's right behind the frame at the bottom feel up in there and might be a Plastic Clip or anchor to run it down through towards the ground.It's an over flow and routes up over the top inner airbox cover that holds on the Air Filter. It's from the Fuel Vent from the Tanks frame area. Make sure to get it fixed because in hot times of the year it is an Major part that needs to working properly so fuel does not seep on top of anything causing real problems. May not want to hang a helment down on that Left foot peg area cause if it's hot OR overfilled and run down there properly it can seep when the Frame is filled up and would get inside the helment. I've seen that Actually happen to someone that rode the Dragon with us last year. Smelly way to ride. Ride Safe.*Jimi
 
What if i leave that emission port open? I also noticed that mine didnt have a cap on it. But i just put the bike together last night and dont really want to tear it apart again if i dont have to. Thanks
 
it is a vacuum port, so you will be getting trash sucked into the intake tract, but, it is your bike, I put a cap on mine and had to put a small ziptie over it, before I got the EBR Ecm, when it coughed it would bloww it off,
 
Thanks, I figured out the routing of the fuel vent/overflow, there was a plastic clip behind the peg bracket! I also capped the mystery vacuum line on the TB, mine was left open when I got it.
 
^Are you referring to the open vacuum line on the TB? I've had that blocked off for about a year now....so it has been leaning out well after I plugged it up. Or were you referring to the fuel vent ending on top of the airbox?
 
I was referring to the open vaccuum line on the TB, your post didn't specify when you had blocked it off and I assumed that you had done it in the last day or two. Just goes to show about assuming :) So obviously not the cause for the leaning out, too bad might have been an easy fix…
