There are a couple tubes that contain water and oil, these tubes have plugs in the lower end that need to be pulled about once a year to drain. If they get too full the gunk will be pulled into the engine. It's similar to the breather collector tank on the older 'Wings which also need emptying once in a while. The more humidity or rain your climate exposes the bike to the more often those need drained.

The real old wings GL1000 (75-77 ) just vented the condensation to the atmosphere there was no way to service the canister. It's kind of neat on a cold morning to see the steam coming out of the tube that goes down the back of the engine. Then along came the pollution boys & they changed everything.
