Thanks for all the replies. First, i have just over 6000 miles on the bike. Ride about 1000 miles per month. I was meticulous with the break in and am diligent with maintenance. I live in western Wa and yes, Ive seen the milky fluid every once in a while in the tube. This however looks like oil and smells like fuel. Like I mentioned i dont see any oil level issues after the new seal in the crankcase cover. I replaced the oil separator thinking having all that oil going thru it may have damaged it. I will tell you that when I removed the hose from the separator that goes to the air box about 2 ounces of the liquid poured out. Now I've checked the air filter and it is not saturated with fluid. Just feels oily from the filter oil i use and is definitely unobstructed. I still get fluid coming from the air box hose after a ride which concerns me a bit. Like I said, no idle issues, no missing, seems to run great. Im curious about the bypassing the filter all together but am concerned with the amount of fluid generating I'd mess up the air box. I've tried to look in the air box best I can and it doesn't seem like there is standing liquid in there but to be honest I cant tell for sure and don't know how to remove to check, at least not yet..
