Overflow goo .. Just a reminder to check yours

[the Ferret]

Tonight while looking my bike over I noticed some goo in the overflow hose on the bottom of the air box. Fix was easy. Slide the overflow hose off it's nipple, squeeze the cap clamp with some pliers and move it up the tube, pull the cap, dump any fluid onto a paper towel, roll up another paper towel and slide it up into the tube from both directions and spin it around a couple of times to clean up the hose, then put the cap back in, slide the clamp back on using the pliers, slip the hose back over the nipple and you are done.

Checked the other overflow hose under the bike and it was clean and empty.

Bike has just over 9000 miles on it.
