I was happily washing my bike today when I knocked down these two rubber tubes. They where poked upwards from the same place the other ends are attatched.
The bike still starts and runs but I have no idea if these need to go back from where they came and where that is exactly.

Thank you all

They are the petroleum ventilation and lubrication ventilation devices. VITAL to the motorcycles wellbeing.
Or of course they could be Carb drain and airbox drain hoses that are soposed to be there just like they are :whistle:

They look like drain hoses, but better to have it checked out by a mechanic anyway, just to be safe.

They are breather hoses mate, nothing to be concerned about. There may or may not be a little clip you dislodged them from when you were washing your bke. Have a little look, put them back if there is a clip. If not just ignore them :yes:

dont ignore them, the fuel and airbox ones maybe, just make sure they aim to the ground, i had one missing from a battery, acid went every where, it ruined alot of chrome. they probley still be on at the top, you could check other than that point them down the same place as the one on the left of the picture, they should then drip on to the ground.

Thanks guys.
They are still conected at the top so I will tuck them under the air box pointing downwards.

Cheers
