Default Is this supposed to happen?

Well today i was riding around on my F4i for quite some time then decided to park it at a buddies house and take a break.... well when i came out i noticed a puddle under the bike from the 3 hoses that hang out of the bottom of the bike? i ran my finger through it and it smelt of gasoline..... is gas supposed to drip from those? what exactly are they for?

that's right. They're vapor hoses. The fumes went up into the hoses and condensed falling to the ground via the hoses. Better than having fumes just sitting on all your solenoids and terminals where it could ignite and roast your nuts.
