SYM XS125-K Vent line hanging and dripping fuel

[CraddyMcPatty]

So, just some context:
A month or so ago, I bought a 4-owner 2016 SYM XS125-K from a stranger to use as a beginner bike. It was poorly maintained and ran poorly. After a new chain kit, spark plug, oil and air filter, it runs well.

Long story short, someone had dismantled the SYM once before, and half-assed it when putting it back together, and that leads to (what I believe) a vent line hanging and leaking fuel everytime I make sudden movement (such as emergency braking) with a full/nearly full tank of fuel.

I have no clue where the line is supposed to go nor where it was before. Any help with these Chinese bikes?

For fuel tank vent/drain/breather pipes they just need to point down at the ground. Route them whatever way looks best without kinking the pipes and convoluted bends. Think about moving parts like the swing arm and whether they might mangle the pipes through their full range of travel.

You're overfilling you tank. The fuel goes into the vent at the top, it's location at the bottom is irrelevant. You don't want it to go in at the top.

Just to expand on wot Nobby said any lines pretty much anywhere on a bike that have open ends are meant to drain excess liquids or gases - of course they're meant to hit the asphalt!

"But I don't want to lose all my petrol!" These lines will be coming from the top of the tank so no fuel should be spilling out unless either the bike's tipped over or the tank's been overfilled.
