"steam" from crankcase vent?

[Zlange]

this is the setup i got on my crankcase vent..the original hose with a crankcase filter on it..

Iv'e noticed steam coming out from the filter now..maybe it's been like that from day one but saw it a couple of rides ago.. is this normal/ok??

it doesent smell like smoke (burnt), but odorless and it's not that much but you see it when the sun is in the background..

The oil/oil filter has been changed recently so it's not bad..

any thoughts?

What type of oil are you using?Never heard of this problem nor seen it.

No problem. Water is a byproduct of burning gasoline, especially if it has ethanol in it. What you are seeing is moisture being vented from the crankcase. I'd guess that Sweden isn't much above freezing temps yet, this time of year, so when the warm moisture laden gasses hit the cool air the moisture is condensing.
