Looks like air vent outlet for CVT to air filter.

I've never seen that before. What does the other side look like ? Is it going into the CVT or under it ?

Maybe someone had an oil cooler hooked up and removed it / plugged the barb before selling to you. That nut right behind it is the oil drain ... right? |

I havent changed the transmission fluid yet either since buying it. |

Is the nut in front of or behind the rear axle? |

Just trying to understand what we are looking at. my GUESS was the photo was taken from the left side (variator side), and the part of the wheel that is visible is the lower front of the wheel. If that is true the nut should be the oil drain. but maybe the photo is taken from the RIGHT side (muffler side). |

To help with the confusion of which side this is, looking at this picture, which way is the front of the bike? to the left side of this picture or to the right?
My guess is that we are looking at the right side as it would seem reasonable to expect a vent hose would be more likely to be pointed to the rear to allow moving air to encourage venting rather than ramming air/water/mud/dirt up into it. It might be more helpful if a picture could be seen from slightly further away and looking directly at it to help determine its position and another one closer, but more underneath so that it can be seen what it is actually attached to... and with a pencil touching it to get a better sense of scale for reference; otherwise we are just guessing at what we are seeing.

He said its beneath the kickstart and in front of the rear brake cable. It has to be the rear tire . I would think.

Just for reference and to clear things up! Edit: today i saw some fluid, either engine oil or gear oil drip a few drops from the hose in question. I had the engine upside down while drilling out an exhaust stud for a few hours yesterday. Left side of scoot. Gy6 4stroke single side swingarm. Tire can be removed from right side of bike after taking off exhaust. Bike is 2011 gmw m1 model. Also labeled as Wolf brand in the US.   |

Thanx...much better view, but alas, it still seems a mystery.
Odd that it is pointed forward. I wonder if that piece can be rotated and pointed down and/or to the rear. It seems to be a drain but I can't tell if it is for the drive line case or a vent/drain for the final drive gears.
I wonder if there is a similar part on other bikes of this type.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

So it's in the BACK of where the CVT cover is and the bolt is the drain for the gearbox oil. The nipple looks like it can only be going into the gearbox, and where it's located is too low to be a normal vent (it would be under the level of the oil in the gearbox. Usually the vent is on the TOP of the gearbox. Is there a hose of some sort coming out of the top? Weird! INTERESTING! |

Here is a diagram from a GY6 shop manual of a typical gearbox fluid inlet & drain:  and a photo in real life:  |
