I was doing some post season maintenance on the scoot yesterday, and once again removed the crankcase breather catch can to drain it. I now have 5,785 miles on the clock, so that means 2,014 miles since last drained. Contents measured .9 of an ounce. Consistancy of water, nasty smelling, (almost like lacquer thinner) brown juice. The outlet tube on my can is still bone dry, no sign of anything ever having dripped from it. I've found that running in colder temperatures will increase amount of liquid produced. Makes sense, longer warm ups, cold rings and cylinders not sealing as tightly as warm ones, and etc.
I once read a thread, that suggested running the crankcase breather tube to a high point on the frame, and to put a small filter on it. (This is for those of us who have removed the air box, in favor of an aftermarket air filter) I for one, don't want the stuff I've collected, running back down into the engine. Know it contains acids, and other stuff that won't do your internals any good.
