Hi Guys,

Question is in regards to a J2 2001 zx6r. I noticed today that something seems to be spitting (assume its fuel) from the joint between the end can and the mid pipe.

Any idea what might be causing something like that? The bike has not been ridden much over the past few years, not sure if that might have something to do with it. It seems to start / run fine however. All i can think is that the plugs may have fouled a bit over time and are not burning fuel efficiently?

Have you sniffed it? My guess is it's just water (condensation).

That sounds correct

*slaps head*

No.. i didnt smell it... Have never seen it before except on my old bike which had blown its head gasket.

Guess the condensation theory would also explain the "white" smoke/steam coming out of the exhaust while it was warming up.
