I started my bike and when I moved it, there was a pile of grease and a rubber cap on the floor. I assume rhis is from the airbox overflo. When I went to replace the plug it looked like a plug had been on the outside of one of the hoses, but the cap wouldn't go on, it slipped easily into the other hose beside it. My ? is should the plug go on the inside or outside and should there only be one hose plugged? thanks for any help

Ummm... What? You should post a picture to accompany your very confusing question. Airbox overflow???

Of the 4 hoses, left side by swingarm, how many should be plugged 1 or 2? Do the plugs go inside or slide over hoses? I meant vent not overflo.

2 hoses get plugged - inside.
2 hoses come from airbox. They should be all slimy, thus easy to identify. Probably a different size too.
Somewhere in the owner's manual or wait... here it is... you're supposed to milk the squirrel condoms out of the lines and drain the lines every 4000 miles. From my genuine service manual.


More flags More fun!
