<![CDATA[Exhaust 'recovery pipe' got loose during high rev]]>Heya!
In my 2004 DT 125RE there's a small pipe connected to the exhaust before the baloon thatdisconnected while riding!

There's exhaust fumes coming out from there too now, and it is way noisier since it is right after the cylinder. What could have caused it? Should i just put it back and tight the screw without Concern? Also, what is it? It is a steel/alu pipe that goes in the engine - some kind of recovery system? I am not familiar with the exhaust systems of 2 stroke engines.

Thanks in advance!

As stated it's for emissions and doesn't affect performance either way.

If it comes off again don't run the bike as you run the risk of running seriously lean like that.

Unclogged it and sticked it back in and I guess it is fine now as the noise seems as it used to. Still waiting for an explanation about the function of the exhaust recovery! 😅
Thanks in advance!
