For California bikes a hose runs to a canister to meet emissions.

Yep... Had it, then binned it... :thumbs up:

The extra weight was keeping the front wheel from coming off the ground as easily...

I thought that little loop was where you tie your kite to. LOL!

thanks for all the replys . i find it intresting that the 49 state maxes also have this extra bit . yamaha must be trying to get rid of all its first gen.max parts to make room for second gen.max parts to fill the shelves at the dealership.speaking of yamaha dealerships, there are 4 in my area . i needed oil, fuel, and air filter . for maintanence on my max and not one dealership had a air filter in stock .they said it would take 5 or more days to get it here . i find it lame of yamaha not to have this item in stock at my location. please forgive me i am venting. best to you all

I think it's for hooking the nitrous purge hose thru in order to take a hit when "needed".......


That or maybe the bong hose from the bong hidden inside the airbox....
