The one thing that i don't like about riding is the exhaust smell that permiates your clothing after a ride. Even after just a quick 20 min blast i feel like i need to take a shower and change my clothes. This is the reason why i have been reluctant to ride to work.
So what do you guys and girls do if anything to combat this issue?

 

are you kidding me?? do you have your mouth around the exhaust.......i ride it to work everyday....carry some cologne in your backpack if your that concerened..

 

Sounds like someone’s been swimming a little too close to the estrogen pool.

Cut out the metro-sexual stuff… I wished they’d sale the bike smell in a bottle.

Ok, enough with the jokes… sorry had to do it.

Not much you can do about it. You’re gonna get fumes from your bike and all the traffic around you. Your work clothes shouldn’t smell like it after you take off the protective gear you are wearing, you are wearing gear, right?

For the love of god… not one person needs to speak of or mention the fuel perfume…

 

OMG..MAN UP BUTTERCUP....if the smell of exhaust bothers ya that much....dont ride to work...solved....and as DC stated your clothes should sell like exhaust if youre wearing a jacket...so put some AXE in the pocket and pretty up when youre done...

Didnt we just have a post like this last week.....i dont ever rememeber seeing anything like this last year...its an EPIDEMIC...."I wanna ride but i dont wanna stink"...such the luxury of being blue collar.....ROFLMAO...

 

My suggestion would be to smoke !! Then people will only notice that and not the exaust smell. I don't think i've ever noticed that i smelled of exaust tho !? Wondering if your bike might be running rich for some reason ?

 

If you have that much of a problem you might want to check your exhaust system. I rode to work daily for almost 20 years and never had a problem with it - and I'm a nurse! I would have been informed in no uncertain terms if there'd been noxious odors on my person.

I think it depends on the bike. In the '60's when 2 stroke street scramblers were the rage, you did smell of two stroke exhaust. Them really high pipes, just made the exhaust kind of swirl around your back side. Though I love the looks of the undertail exhaust systems, I can see where they may create this issue.

 

are you riding dirt bike to work?...
i've never heard of anything like this before...
my sweaty arm-pits smell worst than my exhaust but i'm not worry about it...
hey! i've been riding right?...

 

Yea only smell I've ever head was sweaty butt crack from getting so hot on the seat. That's really uncomfortable. I can't even smell the exhaust when I put my nose up to the pipe and rev the engine.
