I went for a ride today about 45 miles and everything is fine. I splatted some bugs through the farm fields so I stopped at a car wash with pressure washers for a buck.
I rinsed off the bugs, nothing else, didnt even spray water into the muffler pipes or anything. just rinsed off the bugs.
I tried to take off and the bike is making like zero power...full throttle in 1st and I'm making 35mph. As I pull up to stop sign it tries to stall out, but makes it through. I live 2 miles down the road so I head for home.
When I get home and get off the bike, it smells funny.
I look at the bike and my right side muffler is GLOWING cherry red!
The paint has burned off the side of the bike and my leather saddlebags are probably ruined.
The bike is a 2010 T-100 EFI with 6000 miles on it.
Thank god my wife didn't ride with me today!
Any ideas?
