how to check air box vent hose RECALL ISSUE?
I got the same letter that others have gotten about the front brake line and the obstructed air box vent hose recall on the new 250. The front brake line bracket looks fine enough to drive(will still get them to replace it if they want to) but my husband wants to ride itto the dealership to get them to sign off on both issues. But before we do that, we thought we'd check the air box vent hose ourselves. Have any of you done this? Any idea how to look into it before we actually drive the bike? Others have mentioned that if it was obstructed that it would have become a problem in the first few miles or so. My bike only has 2 km on it that we didnt not put on it. Probably the mechanics after they lowered it for me...
If we can't just look into it ourselves enough to reassure us about driving it the 15 miles, we will just put it on a truck. But it would benice to avoid that hassle...thanks

I had the dealer check mine, it was ok on my 2008 250. The bracket they ordered and I replaced myself. Easy to do, and only slightly different from the original.
