I was tightening the clamps on the pipes today, and saw the tubes coming out by the right pegs, One of hoses looked ground down and it turned out it was a plug on the end that I did grind down "oops" so I took the plug out and oil started pouring out. What is this?

Yep, both answers are right. It's the condensation from the airbox....my explanation is a bit oversimplified, just check and drain periodically as mentioned.

Sorry, but I think it is condensation from the crank case, a minute amount of oil is mixed in with that condensation and separates in the tube. |

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

You're absolutely right and I knew that, not sure why I wrote what I did. What I wrote and what I was thinking didn't come together that time. Let's blame it on age.  |

Nope, not going to blame it on age, check with "OldTooSoon" try to exchange handles with him. Bet you're not as old as I am. LOL
Now that's a debate we old'ens can get into instead of who the President is or isn't.
