  1. Engine, Dec 25, 2019, fire

    JUST PURCHASED A 2020 KAWASAKI KLX 230 ALF. I RODE IT AROUND THE BACKYARD FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN, I WOULD COME TO A STOP FOR JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS, I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. IT SMELLED LIKE SOMEONE WAS BURNING LEAVES. AS I LOOKED DOWN AT THE HEADER PIPE, IT WAS GLOWING ORANGE!!! LEAVES AND TALL GRASS WERE STARTING TO CATCH ON FIRE !!! IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS EXHAUST FLAW IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ! YARD ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE. ALSO THE MOTORCYCLE AND MYSELF!!!!
