Yes I would mhave to agree with TB. Although there is another good reason to run an exhaust bung, especially if you have say 3 bikes on one trailer and one is put on backwards so bars don’t clash etc. All the air, water dust etc when travelling will enter your pipe (on the one facing backwards) and if you exh valves are open this crap has the potential to enter your engine, with the possibility of causing damage. :huh: :ohmy:

Maybe if your inlet valves were open and the air filter out and cover off

better off making sure the bike is in neutral on the trailer so you dont get the ring bore damage from the bike rocking on long trips

“Maybe” but I would prefer to air on the side of caution instead of being pissed off! But you seem to have all bases covered eh!

If your having valve issues buy a WR :laugh:

Boony has got one for his Goat not his bike :ohmy: sorry Bob, you have confused a exhaust bung with a butt plug.

You would think it would be feasible to stop all of the above, dust ,water ,rain .hot air , cold air ,wasps ,mice , also would inhibit people from throwing bottletops in there as this then becomes a oh&s issue as they fire out at a rather fast pace and could hurt someone don’tbthey lc(this bit was just to keep it valid in the tech help section)
