    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Muffler Vent ? Drain ?

Started the bike this afternoon (otherwize is on life support, February-Michigan) in the garage (35-40 degrees inside, 20-25 degrees outside) and I saw what seemed to be an exhaust leak about where the muffler meets the exhaust pipes (just behind swingarm pivot) on the lower side of the pipe, slightly to the inside. While trying to get a better look at it I see the other side is doing the same! Both sides have a small nearly perfect round hole there like maybe its purposly there as a drain or something. I suppose if there was a drain hole, that is where it would be because its the lowest point in the exhaust (stock).

I think I recall having seen these holes before, but dont recall seeing exhaust come out of there. Maybe I saw it today because it is a rare sunny winter day (had sun comming in with garage door open).

I dont really think there is a problem. Any comments?
Or are you gonna say its part of the muffler bearing system ha har har
