alot of water in my crankcase vent tube

[horn5390]

I was doing my pretrip fluid changes and maintenance. I pulled the stopper out of the vent tube and enough water came out to fill a small cup. it was clear and not oily at all. im just wondering where it came from. maybe its the accumulation of the humidity we've had since my last oil change. any insight or ideas from you guys will be appreciated.

me and the wife are going to Yellowstone on labor day. 12 days

Condensation. No worries. Drain regularly. Don't lose the plug. It keeps dust from being sucked into the intake.

yep follow Daniel's advise he is correct

what mileage intervals do yall go by. I do it at every oil change.

[Daniel Meyer]

Every now and again

How much you get depends on the temperature, humidity, and other riding conditions.

Last month I realized I hadn't drained mine in long time,got 4-5 oz.out of it.yesterday I had the tank off and checked the inside of the airbox it was clean and shiny.so I wouldn't be too worried

Bring rain gear and dress warm. Was there 2 weeks ago. Rain & cold both days. 

Dont know your route but we enjoyed the mountains outside of yellowstone/tetans more then the park itself. Esp on 26 at Dubois WY and Cody WY.

Don't know which way you are traveling, but if you get a chance ride Beartooth Pass north east corner  just outside Yellowstone hwy 212 coming from Billings........great scenery, over 10,000 feet.

I drain mine once a month ----weather it needs it or not---down here in the south we have weather changes all the time. just check it each month and you will be alright, 10-4-----???----GOD BLESS---

Actually, I would be surprised if it didn't have some water in it!

In 12 years of ownership, I've never drained so much as a drop out of mine.     Not sure if that's significant or not.

yes beartooth pass is on the planned route along with the tetons. I've been twice but she hasn't. i'll be taking her to wall drug, rushmore, custer sp, deadwood, crazyhorse, devils tower, Bonneville, and zion, arches sp. gonna be fun. we leave aug 31

What a great ride.  I used to live in the Black Hills and frequently miss them, especially with the drought and wildfires around here.
