The hose is part of the emissions system on your scooter. The other end attaches to the air box snorkel...should be removed, and replaced with a vacuum cap, or at least plugged with a bolt and small hose clamp. This will keep unfiltered air from being sucked into your engine. 1st photo is before removing, 2nd is after..
