There's another one under the engine on the left hand side of the bike. You need to empty it if it fills up. It's pretty easy to do, although I'm blowed if I can ever manage it without getting gunk all over the top of the crank case.
I find the easiest way to do it is to take the circlip off the top and take the whole pipe off rather than fiddling with the plug on the bottom. That's probably why I make a mess.
Hey Cormanus, is your crankcase made of plastic and mounted right under the tank ?That one is for the airbox or cleaner or whatever you want to call it.

That one is for the airbox or cleaner or whatever you want to call it. The PCV system vents to the airbox to re-burn stuff to meet EPA emissions standards, so yes, it's still a crankcase breather tube because that's where the PCV stuff originates.
