Please have some patience.  Most people here aren't on the forum 24/7, there's no need to make more than one topic.

When the user that knows the answer comes along they'll be sure to post.

Better yet, can you post a picture of the page in the Haynes manual? It's pretty clear that nobody has any idea what you're talking about yet....

Having had 97 and 02 GSs myself I  had no idea what OP was talking about last night but it occured to me that it must be part of the  pollution mods made to the GSs starting in 04 in US.  Found it this morning on parts lists, part 6, 2nd air system has probably been removed by many GSers:

I think I know what you are talking about. I have a 2006 GS500f that I bought a few months ago. I took off almost all of the stuff from the vacuum line that comes from the right carb. I ran the line from the vacuum port on the carb through a "T" fitting that branches off to somewhere on the engine and then to the petcock. The motorcycle started running better, and the petcock worked properly for the first time.
