Back in NC a buddy went to ride to work and found a copperhead snake coiled around the handlebars and triple tree on his Ducati Monster.

He took a remediation path that is different than what I would have done. 
He used a rake and shovel to get it off the bike and then beat it to death.

I would have lit the bike on fire, even the house since it was inside. I am not a fan of snakes, and copperheads are deadly.
The worst would have been a water moccasin, they mean and viscously attack everything.

Route of travel,l guessing,is the top of the airbox via one of two skinny snorkels on top of airbox,so the little bastard must have been very limber!Materials used for the mouse Temperpedic mattress looked very cozy,a material that l do not recognize.

Aware a mouse paid a visit under the seat and snacked on the tool pouch during its brief stay in Northern New York (gawd,must be really cold in the Winter ).Unlikely if said mouse was a stow away on the trip back to Colorado!


Snake nest on/in a bike,yikes!!!Steve,regarding your DIA exploits,heard tons of stories on rodents snacking on electrical wiring.A friend of mine traveled a lot out of state for work.A combinationbn of rodent damage and a hail storm totaled her little Suzuki suv.

Agree with the closing statement,need to get out and ride more.Work,noticeably during the "stay at home" period,has been brutal,having a skeleton crew does not help things!Montrose can not come soon enough............

By what route do you suppose the little bastard took to get to the inside of your air filter? I thought that was a tightly sealed environment in order to keep dirt and excrement outside the engine. Makes no sense to me.

Fortunately,Jim & Jim,damage so far is confined to the neighborhood of cylinder #1.Valve cover bolt is a differant color to the other 5,and the plug from pot #1 looks a little differant to the other two.

When l re-purchased the bike a year ago,l was aware of a rodent that smacked on the tool pouch and relieved itself on the owners manual.No idea how a Triumph tool pouch affects a mouse's digestive tract!Left the manual out in the sun for 2 days to cook out the urine!

Looks like a just fine nest. 

Check wires for chew marks.

I like to use a thin film of Gasgacinch on the inside to hold it to the cover, if needed. The side that mounts to the head should be dry.
