What's this hole / tube for?

Not saying these were ever separate parts but hey, it's just a blind bit of tubing with a cut in the end. Perhaps something could be made...

Gosh, I never thought I would come across anyone else on this forum who knows about the 'ambiguity of nomenclature's '.You sound like my old Professor at Uni but he only rode a push bike, an old 1927 Dursley or something like that ;D ;D ;D

What ever you do Julie, don't ask which way round the clutch cable eye goes. 400 Boy's can be a little sensitive ;D ;D ;D

Yes I think that was what finished bike-pusher off... ;D
But then again, if you look at that routing diagram in the official manual it shows you .... oh well you know ;D
And Julie - I did Physics at Uni. Well someone has to and us 400F riders are a broad church ::) :P
Nurse Julie:
Don't you worry about my clutch cable eye, it's totally original and looks like it's in the right place and the right way round. Make of that what you will ;D ;D ;D
Dan:
The pinch valve stops muck / water getting sucked up the hose. The hose also provides a place for any moisture / oil from the airbox to sit in until service time when you pinch the bottom of the hose and allow the oily residue to drain out. This type of hose is also on my more "modern" '94 Gixxer and is in the service routine in the workshop manual to drain it (Its a bung rather than a slit).It's surprising how much actually comes out the hose if the bike is used regularly and you only drain the hose at service time. I guess the 400 hose would have to be not perished at all to hold any oil or water.
