ninja battery

I was changing my battery in a Ninja 500R 2005 and when I pulled it up I think I disconnected a long hose that looks like it comes out of the gas tank.
Anyone knows what that is and where it goes connected?
Please help,
I have no idea what to do.
I just got the bike a week ago.
Thanks

RE: ninja battery

I'm actually not certain, but when I changed my battery, my recollection is that there's supposed to be one plastic tube that doesn't connect to anything. If I have time I'll try to look at the manual for you or else check the instructions on the new battery. That was over a year ago and the bike's run fine since then.
