2009 TTR 230 tube connections

[tee65]

Hello all,

 

I just purchased a 2009 ttr-230 and had a few question about it that I cant answer without the service manual. First question to you all is does anyone have a link to a manual i can download. Second one question that you all may be able to answer is. I noticed three clear tubes below the engine that look to be like vent tubes of some sort. One end of the tube connects to the engine and the other end hangs free similar to a gas vent tube. I notice that one of the three tubes is not connected on either end. Can anyone verify what these three tubes are and where they should be connected.

Attached is 3 pics showing the tubes.

Is it the crankcase breather tubes?

Those see-through hoses look exactly like carburetor vent or drain hoses.

Practically all motorcycles with a carburetor have them.

 

I'm guessing somebody disconnected one from the carburetor at some point, maybe when they removed the carburetor to clean it after the bike sat.

The tube on the the bottom of pic two goes to the carburetor drain. EZEtc is right those are carburetor vents so they should only be hooked up one one end ?
