Setting: Dyna 3000 34A 5500 Curve DD pipes Poormans Bak Dj needle set on 4th clip stock pilot #35 DJ 175 main PMS 3 turns out Did WOT test, main seems sufficient. did the choke adjust it's closed. no leaks on the the intake or the exhaust. Done the pms ride change stop change etc, 3 out seems good. checked plugs they are fine. idle set around 700. any suggestions   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #143035 TampaSVT (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 522 Re:Liquid? 1 Month ago   Been raining/snowing in your area lately. Sounds like moisture w/carbon droplets. As it gets colder, it condensates as soon as it hits the cold air. It's why you see more coming out of the exhaust during the colder months.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/12/01 17:23 By TampaSVT.   2008 Road Star Polished Tricky Air Ride(remote controlled) Chrome Wheels & stuff...

If your pipes won't carry it beyond the rest of the bike, some of it could well land on it.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #143042 silver_fox (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 228 Re:Liquid? 1 Month ago   FYI...700 seems a little too low on idle. They recommend around 950 rpm I believe. With that low of idle, depending on your year of bike, you could run into a problem with your rear fender cracking from the idle wobble.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #143053 thrtljnky (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 7 Re:Liquid? 1 Month ago   it's a 2007 an i live in jacksonvile nc no snow no rain. year round riding here.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #143066 javawave (User) Over 16801 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3485 Re:Liquid? 1 Month ago   How long was your bike running when you noticed this? Did you run it long enough to get the exhaust hot and burn off any condensation that had developed there? 10 - 12 miles of riding will typically burn the water out. Less than that and it probably adds to the condensation. I would agree with the above post on the idle. I know everyone wants the low lope/thump sound but 700 is too low and will add to carbon build up problems.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #143140 ekonkjack (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 209 Re:Liquid? 1 Month ago   Ditto what the others said about condensation collecting when the pipes are cold. As for the idle being too low they are probaly right on that too but I also like the sound of these mills at a lower than the recomended idle setting. Don't have a tach so I don't know what mine is set at but how many minutes of idleing do you do anyway? I think the rpms that you ride at is way more important. While under load you want the oil pump spinning enough to do it's job of protecting the bearings.   Logged     New England rider since 1972,7th bike, EMT.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #143251 TOPNOTCH (User) Git-R-Done Expert Boarder Posts: 527 Re:Liquid? 1 Month ago   Thats why I got ride of my whitewalls. When the chilly months hit here in So. Cal. and I would fire up my Roady it would spit all that on the back tire. Yupper like everyone else said it is the moisture mixed with the carbon from the pipes.   Logged     Christian American Heterosexual Pro-Gun Conservative...Any Questions???
