im not quite sure what these pipes are for or anything about them, however when fitting my motbike alarm on saturday i noticed there was 2 pipes with rubber stoppers in the end of them, they had like a silver clip helping to keep the rubbers in. Any ideas what they are? as one was full of some liquid (looked slighly murkey) and the other was completely empty? need to tidy up some wiring so will get a picture at the weekend was just hoping for ideas
Cheers
Andy

One will be from the airbox, it the drain for any water that ends up in there.
Pull the plug to drain it.

The other will be a fuel tank breather/overflow.

Why would the breather be blocked? Wouldn't that defeat the point?

Maybe it shouldnt be plugged up, but some tit has put a plug on there.

It doesnt really help though when the OP is making us guess what bike he has.

If one goes to the carb then it will be for draining the bowl.

drains from fuel over flows don`t have a tap on but air boxes do to stop dirty air / water bein sucked up.

The pipes with the bungs are there to collect water which has condensed from moisture in the air and got trapped in the airbox. You are supposed to pull the bungs off and drain them periodically. Expect it to be a bit oily.

Be sure to re-fit the bungs after draining.
