As you can tell from the pics I posted at <a href="http://briefcase.yahoo.com/waynemcclellen">SWAMPMONSTER</a> there are a lot of leaves around where I ride and in the water. Well I've had a problem a couple of times when I would go riding that leave would build up between the exhaust pipe and the heat shield over it. As long as the leaves stay wet there is no problem. I ALWAYS wash my quad thoroughly after getting back from playing in the mud, but some how some leaves remain trapped there and I can't see them. So the next time I start it up the leaves are dry and begin to burn in there. What makes it worse though is that when I ride a little faster (maybe down a dirt road or across a field) it get's more air blown on it and could possibly start a fire when you stop. Real scary!!!

I was just wondering if any one else has this problem and if so have you fixed it?

SwampMonster... Nice pix, narly machine. Was'nt it hard to route the tube through without hitting any suspension parts ? Where are the shots of you and the machine under water ??

 

That machine looks BAD. Looks like it would go through any mudhole around.
