Loose Tube?

[buddazero]

Hey,

So Spring is finally coming to a start, and I rode all weekend. By accident I dropped my screw driver and it rolled underneath the bike. When it did, I saw this loose tube, can't seem to figure out the purpose of it. I must have rode with it like that, everything was fine. Any idea what it's for-should I ride it to Triumph Garage, not ride at all until I figure this out?

Any help/advice will be great! Please & thank you.

Best,

Budda

Tube let's the fuel tank "breathe".

Maybe I'm finally realizing this-it did take me 5 years to realize a painting on the wall at my parents house. I'm not proud of that.

There is actually more than one hose - more like three.
1- Radiator overflow - from overflow tank
2- fuel tank breather
3- fuel overfill - from your fuel cap (Tube runs through the tank and out the bottom)

I see, so this is normal, i never realized this.

Yup normal.

I discovered something on my Guzzi last week. I have only had it 37 years and have stripped and rebuilt it twice. It was unnecessary and was thus removed.
