Re: steam in the rain
No, no and yes...dont ride in the rain.
Water will always get splashed onto the pipes/engine and steam away no getting round it really. maybe a fender extender may help abit. |

Re: steam in the rain
Bad Design - Yes
Damage - Nope, Can it be stopped - Not without redesigning the bike or avoiding all wetness No. Amuse pedestrians by asking them if they see flames. |
