hello, was wondering is anyone knows what tube i could be seeing if i look between the handle bars and frame by the gas tank. its clear and yellow and has a crack in it and is wet but i am unable to determine what type of fluid it is. could it be for the front break. its a dark clear yellow plastic tube which is thin. would appreciate any help if anyone knows -

thanks in advance
this is a very helpful site!

 

It is the vent tube for your gas tank.

 

if cracked does it need to be replaced, or is it ok to leave since its a vent tube?

thanks for the response,
i appreciate it!

It won't cause any damage to let it go, but it could cause problems. I'd replace it now, and save being stuck on the trails. A few dollars for a new hose, 10 minutes of your time, and piece of mind.

 

The breather tube cracked on us and we just had a little bigger tube we placed over it and taped it until we could get a new one, we haven't had a problem yet. I would imagine you can by any type of tubing as long as it is the same size and it should work.

 

thanks for the responses - ill fix now

 

Don't want you to think that it's gonna explode or anything like that. It will just stall out the quad. But depending on what kind of situation you're in when that happens, it could be a bad thing.
