Ciao Piero,
1) che intendi per "black oil boxes"?
2) acqua????? Sei veramente sicuro???? Se la tua moto monta il motore 750, come fai ad avere acqua da qualche parte (se non piovana)?

A presto.

per Black oil boxes intendo la sctola dello sfiato dell'olio....
piovana è impossibile perchè la mota non la prendo con la pioggia.....
boh....

Guys you've lost me with Italian !

But if you have stopped the connection between the Black catch tank and the air box you should see a little oil in that Breather tank.
As the air in the catch tank cools you will get some water condensing along with the oil. Its the same reason you can get a white deposit in the site glass - give it a couple of long runs and drain the catch tank if you like. If it is still happening then change the oil - that should clear it.
Other thing to check is that you still hagve some sort of "media" in the tank - normally its foam.
The reason is it is there to give the oil droplets something to cling to and condense on but its secondary purpose is to stop anything else flowing back down the breather into the engine.

if you have a look in the tech forums on http://www.tlzone.net under oil tank and oil breather you will find a long thread on Breather mods for TL1000's but it also covers exactly waht each compnent in the crank case breather does and what the effect of not having them is

You're right.
I told that I was amazing hearing he had some water in the box.
Really, the condense could explain that.
CIao
