Did a de-smog on a valk and can't remember if I can cap this off.... Any help...  # 10 in pic....

Can't remember on that hose in particular but you only plug one of the outlets on the belly of the air box. I believe the one you plug is where the hose goes to the pair valve.

Just did it myself.... the only one I capped off on the airbox itself was the one forward, the two rear ones remain connected to the box.  Some say to use a bolt and washer, I just used a large vac cap.

And I will say... it does seem to run and sound better.  Could be that I had some minor vac leaks or one of the boots wasn't on all the way, but it is all working good so far.... had it out for a 160 miles run today.

That's part of the crankcase breather system and should not be disturbed nor capped off.

It's just an oil collection tank in case you have some blow by... It doesn't connect to anything
buy the air filter box and a drain tube...

And if you plug off the crankcase ventilation, you will blow oil out your a** , er, exhaust.
