looks like it was water collection in air box as i removed drain plug on pipe that runs down by the foot peg and plenty of water came out so looks like water had backed up into airbox enough for it to go down breather tube:happy:

I would not use engine flush as it could damage the clutch plates, just flush the oil a few times until clear.

I fitted a drain pipe instead of the lower inspection tube on my air box so the water would run stright out, or you can cut some slits using a razor blade through the clear lower inspection cover, otherwise the lower air box will need to full up before it can over full through the top drain tube.

Full air box stroy here.

hi kev thanks for the advice very much appreciate could prob save some pennies to not using it too. will keep checking oil over next few weeks then do another change (not using flush) MERRY XMAS :partyondude:

just keeping you all updated guys been riding bike for a few days now oil still clean so still looking like it was the air filter cover :bounce016:

Make sure the stage 2 filter is oiled correctly & don't wash over the filter with the hose & you will be fine.

Yours is the only case that we know of were we suspect the filter may have let water in.
