I started up my 2009 Sportsman 500 HO for the first time in almost 2 years today. It started up fine and I rode it around the neighborhood. As I was parking it, a piece of rotted black hose fell from the engine compartment. The inside of the hose was dry. I tried to look for where that hose came from and it appears that it came from the prop shaft area. Can anyone tell me what this hose is for and where it goes to? I can’t find the other end of this hose. Does this mean that whatever fluid that was supposed to go through here is now spilled out and I must refill it? Thanks for any help you guys can give.
