Water puke out of air filter 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Okay well now every once in awhile I get shit coming out of my air cleaner and I thought it was gas but it's water has happened many times and I can't smell gas I put my finger down there and lick it with my tongue and it taste like water well it is not gas now I do to drive 6 miles to work and six miles back and I try to keep the engine revved up pretty high so it'll get to temperature to get all the water out but this may very well just be condensation accumulating in the bottom of my air cleaner K&N round air cleaner the other two bikes have the oval air cleaner so it's either condensation accumulating in the engine and coming out the blow by tube or something what do you all think oh yeah and this is Florida humidity land

Maybe it's not water. Is it salty?

Maybe the wiper fluid bottle has a crack.

It's not salty, and doesn't even have the slightest Taste of rum

It's normal. I have mine down below the frame and it drips all the time.

Condensation. 6 miles isn't really far enough to burn off what accumulates in the crankcase overnight. You need to make a really long run and burn all of that off. It's bad for the oil to have that water mixed in with it.

+1 Burn at least a tank of gas. and you need to get it HOT on a daily basis if you are riding to work

That depends on the weather, the nicer it is the longer you have to ride to burn it all off. I'm sure your boss will understand, it's for the good of your bike!
