New to me bike and I have the tank out and noticed a "T" fitting on the Gas Cap Vent hose that looks like it had a third hose on it at one time and now it doesn't....
Any ideas?
The factory manual and the Clymer ones were both no help on this, and the bike had a few other things that were put together wrong :confused:
The pic is from the right side of the bike looking into where the fuel tank would normally sit...
Thanx in advance...

Standard/normal, Robert. Wisdom Of The LiST (now ST-Riders.net) over the years is that it's a backup vent should the main one at the end of the hose gets blocked by road crud.

I think in addition to serving as a back up, that vent prevents the lower part of the tube from holding water (think finger on top of a soda straw) should you have to ride in really wet water or splash through deep puddles.
