P1000m5 What is this hose??

[Samiam1286]

So after my first ride I was washing machine off and noticed this hose, anyone know where this goes? I can't seem to find the other end and it looks to be a vent for the trams possibly.

its ok..

That is your sub trans vent for P,R,H,L gear case.
I would extend it up behind the seat along with your fuel line.
It was originally just stuck into the frame there.

I thought that was where it looked like it went, but then I thought surely they wouldn't just stick it in a frame hole! Who the heck engineered this thing?! LOL
Thank you!

Kawasaki mules have the air and belt intakes vented to the frame. Has been forever.

most of the vents are vented to the frame. I assume this is to provide a torturous path for water to keep it from readily entering the vent line. many people extended their vent lines up above the seats or added bellows to prevent water intrusion. there may be some risk to using the bellows, so I guess the "official" hondasxs recommendation would be to extend all vent lines to a suitable height. I'm still running bellows on everything except the fuel tank vent.
