I'm not sure if it's supposed to be unplugged or not what do you guys think? Hi by the way!

Welcome, and if you're referring to the tube with the clamp on the lower right hand of the picture, I believe its suppose to connect to that nipple right above. Put it on, and use a screw driver to tighten the clamp onto it.

That's a fuel line. That most certainly should be plugged in.

Do not connect that hose to the carbs.  That hose doesn't connect to anything but is supposed to hang over the air box.  I believe the California models may have had an emissions thing stuck on the end.

That connector on the carbs also doesn't connect to anything either.  I believe it also came with a length of hose similar to the one off the top of the engine and also drapes over the airbox.

I simply removed both hoses from my bike.

Not very intuitive but there you go.  Don't worry about those hoses :)
