    Cylinder intake weep

    Spotted this on my TA650. Same around both intake rubbers.
    Bike runs perfect, does 55mpg and is standard apart from the Staintune legal can which has been on there about 4 years. The clamps are tight and valves/carb balance all spot on. The air filter is new.

    Any ideas please?

    Is the stain dry or tacky??

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    My RD04 was doing that. I changed the carb rubbers and now it doesn't.

    If it doesn't come back, then it's a one-off, and you can forget it. (Until the next time!)

    I just noticed this on my 40,000 mile twin, like you the bike runs fine, I've cleaned it off, and was going to carry on running it, to see if it comes back.
