    Was thinking of that :

    Guys, What if, The Oil That goes up the Air compressor Line is actually Oil That lubricates the piston ? I mean, Like The engineers at Aprilia could actually tought of that, To lubricate the piston a small part of the crankcase oil gets into the air injector and then into the piston. I doubt I'm learning you anything over here, I guess you already know this possibility... But Ive been running Water-Trap less for a while (because Mine is too big and inconveniant, And The one my friend gave me doesnt seem to work) And It's running fine..

    Actually, My friend Changed for a new champion sparkplug (like the stock ones) And it didnt foul yet (has 3000km on it), running no water-trap.

    I know Water-traps have made their proofs for most of you, but While I had mine, I didnt see any differences pretty much.. So i was worried, maybe the oil was planned to get there ?

    No, that is simply not the case. What is pushed down that Air Line is a mix of water and T2 oil. And While T2 oil, when mixed in a high ratio with gas will burn, water does not...

    On top of that, that Goo tends to clog the Air Injector over time and foul plugs.

    Having said that, there are members that have never installed a Water Trap and never reported any significant issues. We don't know why some don't need a Water Trap and most others do...
