Hole in the muffler is a drain hole. Got one in mine too

They all have the hole, it's to drain moisture. The rust is pretty normal too as those parts are unpainted.

I noticed the torx bolts on the trail sights were rusted on one. May want to check those.

Looks just like my dirt mountain one last year.

Looks good to me.

Okay.....water is a byproduct of combustion. That hole is a result of engineers doing their due diligence. Be willing to learn about things that you don’t understand. I love that drain hole!!!

It’s cute what non-rust belt get concerned about as far as rust goes. In New England mine is going to look like this after 2 winters, lol.

Any mechanical issues or signs of rodent activity? I am curious as mine still sits on the mountain. I see many posting about "lot rot" - not sure if that's even a thing but trying to understand what to expect when I get mine. I know some of the dirt mountain vets didn't have many issues after sitting for months.

That looks pretty typical and nothing to be concerned about. Time to go out and enjoy that beast, dirty it up, and not fret about the small stuff.

Nothing so far.

I should be getting my eyes on my Ice Mountain victim in a day or two and will provide a thorough report to the forums.

So who does not know that metal has tendencies to rust when expose to the elements???
Basic chemistry....
