The hoses feed from the crankcase into the breather horn to provide
positive crankcase ventilation. When oil is present in the breather horn
or saturated in the air filter, it usually means one of two things has
occurred... the bike has been tipped over on its side or the crankcase
has been overfilled with oil.
