up.yours Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 oh oh oh your so not funny.. the pipe isn't as bad as i first thought, the manafold collar has a sleeve that fits inside the downpipe, then welded at the collar ,it 's a clean break at the weld so looks like an easy fix..

It will HAVE to rev its nuts off with Kev on to get up the slightest incline. It will be like a two wheeled Hemaroid. ATB J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up.yours Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 your back then,,twot.. it's worse than i thought, stripped it down and noticed that it isn't welded, it's a push fit with two spings supporting it (ie, the collets bolted to the manifold ,the down pipe slides over it ) how shit is that , has anyone any idea how to seal this type of set up as it's blowing, even though it looks and feels a tight fit ,it's obviously not..

Call it sixth sense but I feel you are rather upset. Have a look at your parts book, lets hope you haven't coloured in the relevant page, and see if the offending bolt is a stud. If it is - its easy to replace. ATB J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
