What is the second breather tube for?

Under the seat, and extending up toward the fuel filler, there are two breather tubes. One comes from the airbox. The other seems to drop down to the clutch area. What is that breather tube for?

Thanks!

If you're talking about the clutch cover vent then its purpose is this...The drive clutch has fins on it and when it spins draws air in thru the duct to keep the clutch cool......

Ah, that explains it. Where does the clutch exhaust the air?

I think the exhaust is the large black plastic tube on the left side of the quad, right by the side covers. The intake is more in the middle of the bike.
