It looks like it's just a vent hose. I don't exactly know what it's venting though. D4mn yellow bikes anyway. Can you get a couple pics of where it comes from? Is there any place that it is supposed to be hooked to?

Power valve vent, yes its normal, as is the goo that drips from it after a ride.

alrighty then, glad i got that cleared up.

now i have to change all the suspension and wheel bearings , get the shock rebuilt. and install a new clutch hub , put a new tire on and a bunch of other things that is going to cost well over $600

Anyone know the purpose of the "power valve vent"? I've never seen one before and am curious.
