That might *seem* logical but it is only partially true. There is turbulence behind the rider and bike as they cut through the air . . . and it acts as a vacuum. They used to have warnings (maybe still do) in the owners manuals for station wagons and SUVs not to leave the rear windows open while driving on the highway because it sucked exhaust fumes back into the car. On motorcycles, I would think the problem would be minor though, and depend on the angle the exhaust was pointed at. The bike I had read about having this problem was the 2007 CBR1000R . . . so I was just curious if the FZ6 owners experienced something similar. Thanks for the responses!

That's interesting Smittie . . . but have you ever tried to pee off the back of your motorcycle while riding a wheelie at 100mph?!

Yes, my two-stroke could really work up a cloud But these modern four-stroke engines are supposed to run "clean". I was just wondering if the underseat exhaust was really worse than the other "fad" going around . . . the below the engine exhaust cans.

I have been reading some reviews of bikes with underseat exhausts like the FZ6. It seems some people have problems with the exhaust fumes being sucked back on to them while riding . . . resulting in fumagated riding gear. Does anyone on this forum with an FZ6 or other bike with underseat exhaust experience this? Greg
