Breather drain

[froudy]

I ride mine in all weathers and check the drain every couple of weeks. I usually get about a tablespoonful of condensate out each time.

Most bikes if all have that air cleaner chambers breather hose. In most bikes that breather is just an open hose under the bike. For example Honda CBR 600 F, 1100 XX and Triumph Speed Triple and Bonneville. That plug/bung in GSX 1400 is just a fine detail to reach a maximum long life of the engine.

I like my bike so much that I want to maximise it's age and I'll keep the plug there.   

As I wrote, most bikes do not have any plugs in breathers. So: Take it or leave it!

The air cleaner chamber condenses water pretty well. Every time when I open that plug, I'll get a spoonful of water.

Popped my plug out the other day and only got one drip out of it, that 10 years worth.

today i undid that bung. maybe 4 yrs since last time, not really sure. a teaspoon of engine oil came out. how the hell does engine oil get to air filter box. never ever uses any, no blue smoke. perfect motor. just cant understand how oil can be there.

Its just an oily residue in the gases thats built up over time.
seriously no concern for such a small amount over a long period of time...

Like Speedy said, it's crankcase vapours which have oil mist in them. The oil misst cools in the airbox & drains down. It's normal.
