NC30 silencer drain hole.

Post by RichardJ »

Went to have a look at a bike today, it had a standard Honda exhaust on it which blew from the drain hole near the bottom of the silencer, is that normal, as this is the second one I've looked at that did it?
Cheers 8-)

Yes a small drain hole if you're looking at bikes with standard exhaust would have a good look at the join front to rear as they rot away through time.

yep, its just a hole in the exhaust, its a low point in the can so any condensation is supposed to drip out there

good idea to poke it occasionaly to make sure it isnt blocked up with shit as this will cause water to settle and rust out.
