To be honest, this is just a guess as my Kr1 breathers are not attached :oops: But could it be the battery breather?

you also should have expansion tank/battery/oil tank/2x carb overflow somewhere :wink:

There's a really good section at the front of the manual on pipe / cable routing.
Had a quick look - coolant and oil vent to the tail unit. Couldn't see it actually mentioned, but I'd also suspect battery or carb.
Might be clearer in the 's' supplement.

There should be one large one and two smaller ones. The large one is the engine (gearbox) breather, and the 2 smaller ones are the carb overflows.
