I can't really tell where they have it hooked to , but thats not where it goes. It should look like this.......

its hooked up 2 a pipe at the back of the carbs im not sure why tho shud i just disconnect it? or leave it?

 

[alorio1]

leave it for the moment and someone who knows more than me will certainly tell you whats up.....this forum is the knowledge base for Vmaxes.

ill try 2 get a better picture an up load it

It should be hooked to a plastic elbow and go under the carb and exit out the hole in the chrome bracket. Looks like they routed it backwards.

It's the float bowl drain hose....or that's what's it's supposed to be, can't tell for sure from your pic exactly what it is hooked to.

Here's a link to an e bay set of carbs that show the routing of the drain hose pretty well.
