Default 2-Stroke = Lots of Oil around Header?

I Just got a Suzuki LT250R, New rebuild about 1.5 hrs on the motor. I mixed the oil/fuel @ 32:1 With a Ratio rite so its very close. But Oil is on the pipe, little spots are on the fenders, and a lot is around the exhaust manifold. Is this norm? I am new to this hobby and it dont seen right? Looks as if the manifold is sealed good. ??????

You have an exhaust leak. When you first start up your quad you should be able to see where it is leaking from. At least that his how i find exhaust leaks on my sled.

Take the pipe off, fill the groove that it slides into with orange RTV and put the pipe back on.

Yeah just run a small bead of silicone around to seal it up just try not to get any down into the pipes so you don't restrict flow.. I have done the silicone on almost every bike i own it works alot better then those stock rubber things they use..

I use the orange silicone for that and it works great.
