Look in the OEM service manual for how a new bike has the hoses routed. I do not mean by the routing diagram, but by looking at the pictures where they are working on the bike with the seat off. I have done this before to learn how it was when new.

EDIT ADD ON:

Look at the shock linkage arms pictures. It is ran in front of the right dog bone.
I’ll take a look at that. Also I’ll probably be switching back to maxima coolanol. I think the fizziness is from the engine ice.

rerouted the breather tube to the factory location and it hasn’t dropped anymore coolant out. I’ll keep an eye on the tank anyways to make sure there is no consumption. No coolant burning smell I will say, just a good old smell of a 2 stroke engine.
