possible problem in the making ?
At 1am this morning I went outside to crank and warm up my carb'd '99 electra glide so I could come home from work. I did happen to notice as she was warming up that there was a little fog/condensation coming out of the throttle-side pipe, while the other exhaust pipe had no such indication. The temp outside was a slightly damp 47 degrees.
Anyone have any suggestions to what could be happening and is it something to keep an eye on for a future problem ?
Thanx...

I have true duals and never noticed it before i chromed the tips but when i crank it up now i can see that inside the tips the condensation dancing on the walls in the tips. The humidity has a lot to do with that effect.
Thanks all ! All your answers make sense. One thing that I did that night before I rode off into the cool of the morning, was to put my hand behind the exhaust to feel the pressure and I did notice the left exhaust wasn't as strong as the right one.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
Warming the bike up before a ride is fine. Some folks start up their bikes during the off-riding season and let them run a bit ,then shut them off. Doing this promotes condensation inside the case which is not good. So in short, only start her up before a ride and ride enough to bring her up to operating temp and all is fine. My 2 cents.
