I have a leak on my exhaust head pipe and burnt black fuel spits out of there and was told not to use RTV because eventually it'll get sucked it.
I also heard that this leak may be bad for the engine because it will make it run lean and eventually seize it.
I've had no problems riding so far with no seizing, but I'd still seal it; better safe than sorry. I haven't look at the piston and it has 60 miles of riding like this with an unsealed exhaust and I won't look at the piston unless something happens, but I hope it's still in good shape and will last me long. While it works I want to seal the exhaust head pipe area before anything major happens.
Does anyone have anymore information?
Does anyone have a solution?
