That's the drain hose for any gas spilled around the filler cap. Just route it down through your bike, out the bottom.

The small outlet is the vacuum line, it connects to the vacuum nipple on the left carb.

Try this http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/suzuki-motorcycle-gs500f-2006-fuel-chicken/o/m9752sch510180

the small fitting on the back of the petcock is the vacuum connection.On the tank,the short fitting is for on,the long fitting is for reserve,should have an R above it.The fitting just out from the petcock drains the recess that the fuel cap sets in.
