The larger hose is just an air hose from the air box, providing filtered air to the clean air system.
It's not a vacuum hose.
Many owners opt to remove the clean air system paraphernalia.
If desiring to retain the clean air system, with pods, I suppose a separate appropriately sized air filter could be fitted to the end of the larger hose than now doesn't have an air box to draw from.
Good Fortune!

When installing pods, the Kawasaki clean air system stuff is usually removed. If you go that route, you'll need to disable the valve cover ports.
