Air filter

[Foxy Stoat seeks Pig]

Sorry, another pitstop post but i'm keen to learn.....

I have a K&N air filter so I cleaned it out using the cleaner and oil kit. When I took the top off I found this sort of gunge (centre of pic below)

Also found a small collection of fluid in the right hand side of box.

I've cleaned it all up, just wondered what it is and why it is there.

Thanks.

It will be coming in through the crank case breather

Its usually a sign you have been giving it some beans or the oil is a little full

you will always get some oil mist in to the air box from the crank case breather unless you fit an oil separator

Thanks Stu, I don't think the oil is too full, if anything it needs a drop in it. so nothing to worry about?

[Stu]

I wouldn't worry too much

But keep an eye on it

You may have an airbox drain too check to make sure its not full

Check the drains arn't pluged/blocked

Looks like the little hole below the inlet rubbers:
