Long story short: Riding on Saturday, about 45 miles or so until we hit a wide open, whooped out sandy section (Michigan). Its part of the snowmobile trail and fun to blast. I rode with a bunch of guys, including a guy on a 525.
No way to keep up with him, but I wound out the KDX pretty hard regardless. As we stopped to wait for the rest of the group, I started to smell some weird stuff. Upon further inspection, it came out of my silencer. Not the typical spooge, much lighter in color (almost kinda tan) and it smelled like a burned brake or sg. I suspected transmission fluid (seal), but it didn't look like I lost any (I run ATF). So then I started thinking it might be old spooge caught in the pipe (from the days of piss poor jetting;)), maybe it got so hot that I cooked that and blew it out the silencer?
I experienced no loss of power, no smoke. Bike ran fine for the whole ride.
Any thoughts?
I'd hate to think I have a blown seal :bang:
