Gidday,
I think I know what caused this but being new owner to this 20 years old machine and also I have not noticed it before..
This morning I started the bike, its always on the centre stand when parked and I let it run for a couple of minutes, nothing new there, and nothing to worry about as it was ticking away very smoothly like a finely tuned singer sewing machine.
I turned it off and walked about the shed then looked back and noticed a few puddles of water about 2" across on the concrete floor directly under the front of the header exhaust pipes and also they were running in line with the pipe.
I got down on my back and looked up under and you could see a small path of water running along the exhaust pipe and going back to the join in the about half way along.
So I gather this is condensation within the pipe and one reason not to run the engine for a short period of time? Y/N
Maybe I should of warmed it up more which in turn would get the pipe hot and burn away the water??
Is it something else that needs further attention? and should I pull off the exhaust system and apply some type of sealer to the join or is it better to let this happen and get the water out of the pipe...
Just wondering your thoughts...
