I have a 95 also and the only hose I have going to my airbox is the one that goes to the tranny. It's right in the middle of my airbox too. Do you have a picture?

bottom left?

That's the drain hose. A small hose runs from there down in front of the shock-with the battery vent hose.

It's there so that any condensation/water that enters the airbox can drain when the bike is on sidestand.

It SHOULD have a check valve inline in the hose as it 'ports' into the clean area of the airbox.


And, it MUST be capped (vacuum cap) or regulated with a hose/check valve combo-otherwise unfiltered air will enter your engine.
