2019 850XMR vent lines

Hey folks, I'm currently in the middle of snorkels on a 2019 850XMR. I hadn't really looked that closely yet until I got dug into it, but I'm shocked at the amount of vent lines under the pod (6 lines total), I was told there would only be three to worry about (front/rear diff, fuel tank). I'd be lying if I said I had the slightest idea of where to start with these. Can I just get some brass M/M couplers and extend them that way? Or do I have to run entirely new lines.

I tried to trace where some of them lead, but they are buried, deep. Also zip tied, in places that are going to an absolute PITA to get to.

This is my first snorkel install, and I'm doing it from scratch. Well, guided by both ARMUSVETS, and Rob Farrow on YouTube.

I have tried searching all evening but I'm not finding any helpful information.

You could just extend them, no issues there. As for the 6 lines, front diff, back diff, tranny, gas tank, water pump weep hole, and if theres 6 possibly one on the fan motor

Perfect, thanks for the help! ill get my hands on some tubing and connectors. Is there any that can be combined at all with T's to reduce the number of lines going up to the snorkels? both diffs maybe? ive been considering finding some bellows for them anyway, but for now will just extend the lines.

Absolutely some can be joined, the brp snorkel kit used to include a T to join i believe gas tank and tranny to extend as one. You could also ditch the diff lines in favour of bellows that came on the g1 bikes, very popular switch.

ARE the diff bellows better than having the vent lines? And where do you get the bellows if they are better?
