lest muffler dripping water?

Like the second poster stated, tighten the clamp or loosen the clamp and push the muffler up (toward the front of the bike) on the pipe then retighten. May have to use a block of wood laid against the tail of the muffler and whap it with a plastic hammer to move the muffler. The moisture is just finding an easy route out of a small leak between the pipe and muffler. No secrets, invisible drain holes, conspiracies or Obamacare involved here.

If we look into the chemical make-up of gasoline we will notice that it is made of Carbon, Hydrogen and then requires oxygen to combust. After the reaction, the by products are Carbon Dioxide and water. After we balance the equation it will look something like this: 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 to 16 CO2 + 18 H2O. You will notice that the by product contains water. This is part of the reason it contains water. Most of this is vaporized because of the intense heat created during combustion. Depending on the type of exhaust system, the vapor may or may not condense on the inside of the exhaust pipes. This would lead to the appearance that it is dripping water which is normal.

It appears from the picture that the clamp is about 1/2" or more back from the end of the muffler inlet. It has been my experience that the clamps need to be at or damn close to the end of the muffler. If it is too far back, part of the clamp will be resting on a secion of the muffler inlet pipe that is not slotted and therefore cannot be compressed by the clamp to provide a seal.
