Does any body elses exhaust spit black water out of it (nc30) when you first start it up?

I can always tell at work where my bike has been parked cause theres always a small black splatter mark on the glass from when i start it up. Dont think it does this to much after a run... but is this normal for water to spit when cold??

The bike runs fine but my water bottle under the seat seems to need topping up...

help...

it is no worries.

Just the cold can and pipes condensing the water out of the exhaust gases.

I'll guess your bike lives outside? With the coolant needing topping up just check your hose clips are tight and make sure there is enough level in the bottle to allow the rads to suck some back in when the coolant cools down.

Yeh it's just condensation, if you aint got a drain hole like on the standard cans (at the bottom) it will just come out the exhaust port/s, nothing to worry about. :)
