I have drained my catch can twice now and it seems like what is coming out is mostly just water. I was assuming that it would be little bits of oil that was supposed to come out.

Is this right or is something wrong? Is it just built up condensation or water that's gotten in there from riding in the rain?

After a 20 mile trip to work I may get a teaspoon of water, If there was enough humidity.

After my last 100 mile fun day in the twisties, I left the drain open for the night and got a lot of spooge(water-oil mix) and about a tablespoon full of water. It took a while before it started to drain out. Nothing came out when I opened the drain it had to sit for quite a while.

Yep water only is perfectly normal. I have my catch can mounted in front of the engine, and can actually look down at stop lights and see steam coming out of the breather filter.

Tends to look like a milkshake gone bad. A mix of oil and water vapors.
