Black tubes
Took apart my back part of my bike and behind the air filter are these black two tubes (one big one small), do they go anywhere?

The one visible in the picture is the drain tube for the carburetor's float bowl. The other one might be the overflow drain tube for the carb, but that's a hypothesis without seeing it. There's another tube that goes into the airbox and goes back to the final drive; that's a breather tube for the gearbox.
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

The one on the bottom is the breather hose.
