So, finally got round to having a look at the air filter, and I was quite surprised at how dirty it was to be honest.
And when I took it out there was a bit of the old oily mayonnaise in there again.
Cleaned it all out and gave the K&N a good clean up with the recharge kit, then left it on my metal garage flip up door so the sun was shining directly on it to dry it out, then I oiled it.
Not tried the bike yet, I'll know if it's sorted things out on the way to work in the morning.

make sure the breather pipes are free and not trapping when you fasten the tank back down
easily overlooked and can cause silly problems lol
get hold of the pipes and pull on them as you lower tank into position

theres breather pipe at the back of tank goes down between frame and airbox then in between frame and engine and comes out underneath next to main stand
what happens is when you lower tank into place they fold up at back under tank
one some of the newer models i think thats gone, like on mine, the pipes are not attached to the tank, but the holes rest into a fixed bowl the pipes are fitted to the underside, its fitted on top of the airbox and routes, so you can move your tank around and off with no concern for kinking....etc...

It's not coming out of the fuel pipe, if it was I would hazard a guess the bike would sound like a bucket of nuts and bolts.
I believe it's a mixture of moisture and oil that collects over time at the bottom of the air box.
This time wasn't too bad, when I first got the bike it was swimming in the stuff when I opened up the air box.

That gunk looks like an oil+water emulsion. Are you sure it's not coming out of the crankcase breather? Have you changed the oil recently, was that OK?
Crankcase breather pipes will be choked with oil emulsion over last 15 years or so. Clean it out from air box and take pipes off to clean them through. Be 15 years before need to do it again

Air box is clean as a whistle now, but where exactly are the breather pipes you're on about?
