Dont worry much about it - just be careful not to shoot water down the exhaust.

As a preventative, place a piece of duct tape over the end of the exhaust:yesnod:.

You can plug it with something, try not to direct water into the exhaust, and when you are finished, go for a ride to dry it inside and out.

fwiw, there is water in yer exaust anyway, one of the byproducts of combustion is water, that condenses inside the exauste everytime it cools down

Plug it or be careful. I just wash mine carefully and then take it on a little 10 mile ride afterwards to evaporate the small amount of water that may have gotten in. As long as you're not filling it up, it's not a big deal.

Thanks folks! Appreciate the quick feedback.

I remember sticking the hose down the 4" exhaust of the deuce and a half I had in the Army. Took a few gallons and I blew a huge gob of wet black soot all over the motor pool when I started it up. Caught hell for that.
You just couldn't rely on the draft to get good people!

Thanks Ranger. I went to a dirt bike store today and got one of those plugs. Very handy.

In case it helps anyone, while I left the packaging at the store, so i dont know the brand name, but the size I got was called "2 stroke". It fits snugly into the exhaust at the 3 rd ring from the top.
