e-series carbon problem

i just recently took off all the discs and stuff to clean them and i put them back on the other day. i went out riding yesterday and there's carbon starting to build up not only on the discs but coming bacck and making a residue on the actual exhaust further down the pipe. what gives? this wasn't happening before. is it time for a top end rebuild?

where is the carbon showing up... where the exhaust pipe meets the can itself? where the e slip on meets the head pipe?

the carbon is showing up right past the discs on the can itself. there is also carbon build up on the discs also, i believe thats normal. the carbon before never showed up on the can itself before and was wondering why.

you put the discs on in the right direction?

**jak1389** · 05-09-2005, 01:26 PM

yea i think so the disc part where the curve is faces towards the can right?

The discs are supposed to blow away from the can, away from the quad. . That how all the ones i've seen are and thats how mine is
