What a season of splooge looks like. Yummy.  The black specs are road grime bits. | ||

 Looks like you are making a cheesecake. | ||

Do you collect your breather discharge or that's inside your catch can? Hard to tell from the picture. | ||

Looks like the bike was caught in a flood.  | ||

Yep that's about right for one of these bikes. Mine makes like 2 tablespoons every month. mostly its water and a little oily mess. I usually empty my catch can every 2-3 weeks and every month if i forget. | ||

Good lord how short of a ride do you guys go on?? I don't think I've EVER gotten that much moisture in my oil. EVER. What the hell are you doing to your bikes?? | ||

Florida. Wet. Daily. | ||

Wow! I live in SW Florida but I have never had that stuff come out of my bike. Might be that I seldom ride less than 75-85 miles on my standard Sunday AM loop. I am guessing that my oil gets hot enough to get rid of the moisture before that stuff can form. | ||

Oregon is wet too. Condensation occurs on my s1, servicing my catch can @thousand miles? About 2 oz of watery muck. | ||

I ride 45 miles round trip daily. On cold days the engine just doesn't get very hot. Most days lately are in the 30's to 50's in the mornings and evenings. (Message edited by Rick_a on March 08, 2014) | ||

My commute is 17 miles each way and I never get that sort of crap in my engines. Stock breather setups, no sign of it getting sucked into the carb/throttle body either. You should check for leaks - that does not look right. Water is getting in somewhere it shouldn't. | ||

Humidity is typically in the 50 percent and up range daily. Did I mention I get wet half the time? Damn straight moisture gets in somewhere! Put a catch can on it. You will get splooge. Everybody gets splooge. | ||

After 30k+ on the Uly, 35k+ on the S2, and about 10k on the S1W...all running just great with the stock breather setups and all with plenty of wet miles under their belts (and under my rain suit - why do they ALL leak??)...why the hell would I want to change, just so I can collect crap like that?? My bikes run fine, I don't have any issues, and I certainly don't get junk like that out of the drain plug when I change the oils. Wait. Check that. I got a little bit out of the Uly's primary, when I had a bad clutch cable O-ring letting water in. But it was just a coating on the derby cover, nothing like what's pictured. | ||

Your combustion by products just get recycled via the intake. Of course it won't collect anywhere. I want it to collect. That's the whole idea behind a catch can. |
