2013 Yamaha Grizzy 550 – Leaking Oil Via Tube

I just recently changed the oil in my 2013 Yamaha Grizzy 550 4×4 and within a few days I had oil all over my skid plate and it was dripping onto floor. I pulled off the skid plate, wiped it down, and tightened the oil filter (it was slightly loose so I thought that was it).

I took the bike for a spin and let it sit in a new spot and it appears the oil is leaking out of a narrow tube that appears to be attached to the oil/engine compartment. My 700 has the same tube.

What exactly is that tube and why would oil be dripping out of it?

Thanks,

New guy to the can-am world

I picked up a lightly used 2016 Outlander 1000R today. I will try and get some pics up tomorrow. I am going from a 2001 big bear 400 4×4 sra to this, so it is definitely a new world to say the least. lol. I think my first mod will be a low profile passenger seat that I can possibly keep my back rack with. Any opinions you guys could offer on that would be greatly appreciated!

front light issue

Just picked up a 2001 325 Trail Boss. When I turn the power switch all the way to the right, the fan turns off and the headlight does not come on. The fan comes on as soon as the switch is placed in the run position. I assume this is not normal. Any suggestions?
