All 650's Potential exhaust leak

[Mr Stammer]

Hello, I have a cbr650f 2016 which I recently bought so decided to do a service. I know the bike has not been rode in 12 months. When I changed the oil then checked for leaks etc I notice water or a clear liquid coming out a 2mm hole in the bottom left of the exhaust (it’s the larger component to it) is this normal

Yep. Condensation in the exhaust turns to water and needs somewhere to go. Normal.

To be really clear, it's exactly why that 2mm hole is there. Congrats on the new ride! How many miles does it have?

Thanks for confirming

Hello. You have your answer from other members ;-)

I don´t know if others have that experience, but my 2021 CB650R (EURO5), in cold and humid days, after cold start, blows (literally) a stream of vapour through the (OEM) exhaust outlet and leaves a puddle below that exhaust drain hole.
It´s normal.
