Honda Shadow 1100 leaking gas from exhaust

#1 Unread post by heel55 »

When I cranked my bike gas vapor/gas started coming out on the right hand exhaust. when I looked under the exhaust, there is a small hole where it appears to be coming from. The hole is perfectly round, so it is not a rust problem. Also there are several other places where it appears holes have been welded over. I can't figure out how gas could get inside the muffler.

It's condensation. It smells like gas because it comes from inside your exhaust. Yetch
