Default hoses underneath the bike?

Hey so i was looking at my bike today and i noticed there were 2 houses sorta just dangling underneath my bike, about right on from of the clutch lever, anyways i dont think its affecting anything since my bike seems to be running just fine without them and upon further inspection they dont have any marks on the ends of them so it seems like they were attached to anything for a while anyways. So let me ask you, what are they for? Are they some kind of vent for the gas tank? (thats the only thing i can think of) or are they maybe smog related? since i know the previous owner took off all the smog equipment from the bike while he was installing the exhaust,

thanks!

Think you might be seeing the overflow tubing

yup, all overflow tubing. When you overfill your gas, it'll come out of one of those.

yeah... overflow tubes.

main thing you gotta worry about for that is if you ever drop your bike, sometimes, gas starts coming out from one of the tubes, so you better get it up ASAP before someone starts lightin a cigarette and throwin matches.

Right, Gas Tank Overflow, Gas Tank Venting, Coolant Overflow. They all should be long enough to fit into a rectangular slot at the bottom
of the left side fairing.
