Default Honda break in period

well right now i'm at the 20 hour limit for break in period, so now i take it in to the place to have a free 20 point inspection and oil change air filter change and what now, but is it typical to find things loose for break in period? i'm guessing that it is, it makes sense, because there is this black little tube that comes off the carb i believe, and i never really looked under the b ack end before, i don't know if it is supposed to connect somewhere, or if its a drain, because the atv is functioning perfectly, i just don't know if its gonna wreck somethin, does anyone know what i am talking about, its a little black tube that is just hanging there


thanks

It's a drain. I made mine longer and attached it to the front of the air duct with the other vents.

Better not be english class..i failed that.
See where the upper end of the hose goes. If its a small diameter hose and goes to the bottom of the carb...its just the overflow/drain tube. And its just supposed to hang there, and must stay below the level of the float bowl, i wouldnt connect it to anything, especially if it raises the height of the opening to above the float bowl. Just let it hang...it was designed that way.
As far as tightening bolts, thats a constant thing, the offroading and vibration is tough on things, and the quad needs a general looking over now and then.
