There be mice in here
Happy Easter .... ok here's one for all you intelligent people.... im pulling out ( of my tool shed) my dirt bikes & quad the other day...bringing them down to the dealer see what kinda trade in on can get on a new 14.... so one of the bikes wouldnt start... well turns out there were a few reasons why....but one was....the air box was jammed packed full of leafs..cotton bits...etc... yup..mice had climbed up under the seat ..into the airbox and made a nest... My tool shed is pretty tight....however ive seen mice get into things you'd never think of (5/8" garden hose for one)... i found another nest in the other bikes side cover (no harm..no foul)..my question is...since ill be moving my 14 out there....any way of keeping these critters away?....On second thought...i got this funny feeling ...ill be joining the 14 out in the shed probably the same night i bring it home...maybe my snoring will keep the little fella's away

Hi Fastest....yeah i didnt think so..as far as getting into the 14's airbox....but i think i read (my memory is quickly leaving me)...somewhere...(motorcycle mag) that guys have had problems with mice crawling up the exhaust...(im not say on the 14) nesting in there....or farther up... may sound like BS to you...but i just figured i'd throw it out there....see if it sticks!

Mice in the exhaust? That would be funnier than a 'banana in the tailpipe'....

mice can't get into the stock exhaust, the plugged up catalytic converter it is...
BTW loose the stock cans, and flies right off the bat..... they suck!
