Wassssssup all new rider here. Excited with my new/used 2014 CBR 650F. I was going to get a new one but they got sold out and had a non abs 2014 with 12k miles, haggled the price down to 6k OTD plus 15% discount on a Arai Quantum X Helmet, Cortech leathers, Alpine star shoes, Icon Body Armor, etc. Drove through traffic to get to work today in the new ride, probably wasn't the greatest idea since this was my 3rd time ever riding in my life and was driving in Los Angeles traffic. Took the MSC. Any tips for this NOOBIE? Greatly appreciated. BTW that puddle that forms underneath the bike on a cold startup normal condensation? Seemed like it was spewing water or fuel underneath the exhaust and some from the tail pipe as well. Any thoughts?

 

Hi , have you got a catalytic converter fitted

 

Is it water or fuel?

 

seems like it is water. Fuel kinda dissipates on the asphalt but this was gathering up into a puddle. I'm not sure though, if it happens again maybe I should try and light it up, safely of course.

 

A little condensation, like a drip that burns off the exhaust before it hits the ground, is normal. But a puddle? I've never seen a puddle of condensation under my bike..... Maybe it's coolant. That would be a problem.
