man I'm a noob! two tubes on the side of my bike!
Ok I know this may be a dumb question. However I have to admit I'm still learning the basics when it comes to bikes. So please be patient with me if I'm asking silly questions. I just don't want to make silly mistakes because I didn't ask.
There is two tubes leading down to the pavment on the left side of my bike. I know one of them is a air breather for the fuel tank. But the other one is sealed and has a bulb like plastic peace on it. It's full of a dark liquid. would anyone know what this line is? I'm looking to get an hanes book for this bike so I can learn more about it. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in advance

no problem !!
if you mean the part ( in the red circle) this tube comes from the airbox / frame -- there is some oil in it -- open your frame and take a look -- if there is more oil ?? ( the two aluminium covers under your fuel tank)
the nr. 1. tube comes from the expansion resevoir (nr.1.)

Don't buy the Hanes- buy the KMC book. That little bottle is an emissions system related catcher for fuel. It is sealed so those terrible vapors don't pollute our air. Just pull of the cap an ddrain it occasionally.
