Exhaust blowing NC30

Post by bikemonkey » Thu May 24, 2012 2:47 pm

So today I've been stripping the bike down and giving it a thorough going over after my crash.

Thankfully I'm happy to say nothing major is broken, mostly cosmetics.

But when I went to see if the bike was still running (it was), I noticed that the left front exhaust pipe was blowing where the front down pipe meets the collector.

It looks like the clip is missing from the join, as the right side still has one on it.

Obviously I don't want my exhaust blowing and want to fix it, what are my options?

It looks like somebody's already had a go at welding that. I'd get it off the bike and get it repaired properly - there was a guy on here doing decent repairs in a thread not long ago, and the costs looked good too IIRC?

Edit: It was Big Stink on here:

Aye, that is a mess. Needs chopping of and a new collar fitting. RCV4 can do it, PM and see. He has the skills, make no mistake!
