Default my bike smells like a$$!

'03 XZ6R with hindle titanium exhaust. not tuned. pops.

i know this is bad, but after riding the bike i smell like a$$! it's a VERY PUGNET burnt exhaust smell. not sure if it's something that is detrimental to the bike or okay. do these bikes normally "spray" a lot of exhaust fumes on your back?

thanks!

you might be running a little on the rich side if your spitting un burned fuel out of your pipes.

yeah, i was thinking that too cause i am popping and the inside of my pipe is nasty black with soot (sp?). i guess that's better than being lean though. it just got really bad in the past few weeks. i was just hoping it was not a coolant burning problem. sweet, well thanks. i guess i should get that power commander sooner than later.

cheers!

How's the exhaust color? If it's real dark that'll tell you it's rich too..

exhaust looks normal. not cloudy, dark, or blue. i also noticed the smell getting worse with lower temperatures outside.

I started my 06 yesterday and the exhaust smell was more than i usualy i smell. I think the bikes are running rich intill they warm up to a good temp. I think mine wasn't as strong after it was running about 160 degrees. or i just didn't notice the exhaust smell any more. oh by the way i live in flordia to but it was cooler than usual down here the other day.
