exhaust color

crapper · 04-30-2011, 07:31 PM

hello all
i've noticed that when i look straightat my tailpipes,the right one is a lot lighter in color than my left.
the bike has been in deep sleep all winter so haven't run much this year but before putting it away last fall, i did notice that same thing but put it out my thoughts.
is that a sign of anything i should be concerned about
any ideas would be great........................

Is this with true duals or stock exhaust?

The color of the plugs is a lot more important than the exhaust pipes.If the plugs are the right color I woudn't worry about the exhaust too much.

i just ran the bike for 10 minutes and seems like a bit of moisture coming underneath the right baffle.........also a little rust around where baffle fits around the pipe
i guess my first thought is head gasket...god forbid

Check the coolant level and see if its going down slowly.
