There seems to be a breather tube by my drive chain.Any ideas as to what it is and should it be so close.

Can't remember what runs by it off the top of my head, where about near it and do you have a pic? Are you sure it's not the rear brake line?

is it a scott oiler?

I was going to say that but forgot the name of the bloody things and assumed he'd of checked under his pillion seat and found it

It's either for the fuel filler cap run off, when you wash the bike, so it doesn't get into the tank.
Possibly also Fuel tank breather tube.

rubber tube off the bottom of the shock, which is there to drain water out too, for what it's worth!

Thanks.I thought fuel breather but shock run off sounds plausible.
