hi, the breather box [below 'carb'] was modified on the second batch of bikes, yours being the original 08 model
Some were changed under warranty to the '09 onwards type of breather, it was not a recall, more a customer driven modification.
what basically happens is with motorway style riding the engine vapour does not get time to settle and flow back into the engine as oil so it enters the air box and needs to be drained through the hose, the newer type had more chambers within, so less problem.
iirc the newer box was under �20 thought a bu66er to fit.
take a couple of close up pics of yours so we can work out if your has been changed or not, fr- back- sides
