When I took my front end apart I decided to pull the tank and change air filter and make it easier to pull some wires and when I took the top off the air box and removed filter there was some old gas (not a lot)in there . I cleaned it up and didn't think to snap a picture but any ideas? On where or why?

That is not gasoline.

The crankcase breather exits in the air box

and that is what you are seeing. Drool!

Results of the breather working properly.

The "drool tube" is the drain for the air box.

Thanks it looked like old gas and smelled like it but I guess it would smell that way because of where it is. I just didn't notice it on last filter change.

You need to empty the dragon drool every once in a while, especially if you have been riding in the rain.  The drain is the tube on the bottom with the clamp on it.  hoser
