I came home from work Friday and noticed a very strange hose dangling loosely from my bike, down on the left side by the kickstand. I just bought the bike about a month ago, and I'm certain that this must have come off very recently.
The problem is, I have no fucking clue what this hose goes to. It's dangling loose with an open end, and the end doesn't look sheared off at all. About half way down the hose is a little T joint with hose clips, but I'm not sure why. The bike starts and idles just fine, and everything looks okay. With the bike running, no fluid at all seems to come out.
Coolant level is right where it should be, front and rear brake seem to work just fine, clutch engages/disengages, it'll shift up and down.
I tried to take the seat off to get a better look at the other end of the hose, but I couldn't seem to break loose the back bolt.
The hose in question:
The end looks cleanly disconnected, not broken, sheared or cut...
The mysterious "T"
In the center of the picture, that black plastic sheath that a hose comes out of, that's this hose.. I can't see where that sheath goes.
Coolant looks fine:
What could this be for? And why would it pop off?
The bike is a 97 Magna if it makes a difference..
