I have a WR125x 2010, only a month old. When i was cleaning it today i spotted a pipe hanging down from just behind the rear brake pedal, (snugly clipped following the engine shape) As i followed the pipe up it went up into the right side panel and i could see the end of, not attached to anything. The end of the pipe hanging down was cut at an angle, so i am not sure if it is a overflow pipe or something. The fact that to top end isn't attached to anything is worrying me!!

Any ideas what this pipe could be? It looks like a 10-15mm rubber hose (black).

I have no real experience with bikes, so any help would be great.

Thanks

Pete

It's probably a breather pipe of some description, either from the engine or the carb.

Its due a service in a couple of months. Do you reckon it could wait until then, or should i head down to the garage asap?

Follow the pipe back up to the top, then look around in that area, you'll probably see where to reconnect it.
