I all, doing some bits on the IS today. I took the air box off and one of the hoses came away from a T piece on the RHS. It dumped what looked like about a cup of water. Im guessing it a hose to a breather but should the water build up that much or should itt drain off ?
Cheers

The bottom of the line with fluid in it has a plug. This should be part of your regular maintenance (frequency based upon location and use). Remove the plug and catch the fluid, inspect.

Moister from your air cleaner box.

Nothing to worry about, just remember to drain it every few months  :cooldude:

I never worry about mine because I have had it unplugged since I bought the valkyrie in 2002 : :roll:

That could allow dust and dirt to be sucked up and into the air box. Personally I would plug it but it is your bike and your choice.

I emptied mine for the second time in eight years.  Got about a tablespoon each time.
Thanks,

Doesn't seem to affect it, average 37 mpg and it runs fine.I will result it per your suggestion and see if I notice any change.
