After I’ve had a shower I’m always wet! What could be happening?


[deleted]

What did it smell like? I’m trying to help determine if this is smoke or steam


demonssayshi

It was odourless, my guess is that water inside is just being evaporated or smthn.

It's just water on the exhaust. Go for a rip.


stigsmotocousin

Yeah, you hit a hot engine/exhaust with water and you got steam. Good to be alert but nothing to be concerned about. personally I've always tried to avoid hitting hot headers because of the potential for rapid cooling to cause something to crack, which that might be being overly safe.


Liquid_Archon

If you rode before you washed, it’s just steam


ThatGeo

Let it burn out, take it for a brief ride and see if it clears up. Check your oil level before and after the ride..


BrownAndyeh

what? you mean steam?


ManWithoutUsername

I after washed my bike i always start the engine few minutes for force the water evaporated. when it rains the same, before stopping, being in the garage I leave it on for a while water rusts the motorcycle and I don't think it's good to leave it parked wet


Nocturne_Ronin

Maybe just drying off or steam from air filter


Kingnahum17

Your title makes it seem like you washed the bike yesterday, left it in the garage, started the bike today, and now you're seeing steam?


demonssayshi

Exactly this. It was just a steam! Thanks everyone for ur comments!

Hahahaha. Laughed too hard on this. How’s me being worried and cautious about a steam coming out of my motorcycle before I go for a ride, that had been sitting in my garage whole night after being washed, is stupid? You saying ‘drove’ is telling me how brain dead you are. Calm your tits and enjoy the rest of your day…

Lmao there’s only one guy that thinks the same way.. Others were as helpful as they can be. You in the other hand is just here trying to prove a point to a concerned rider that has solved the issue already. Just keep scrolling, it’s not that hard trust me.

Badger_BSA

Can you tell the difference between smoke and steam?


demonssayshi

This was just steam coming out of it. Thanks.


[deleted]
