Hi Folks
Well my MOT test is due next month so had the bike on the ramp today for some tlc, I was removing the R/H side panel and lent on the exhaust silencer.......that feels a bit loose! must be the exhaust clamp, on closer inspection the silencer has a weld about two inch above where it joins the middle box, the pipe has split almost all the way round.
Glad I caught it in time, ive a TIG box at work so re welded with stainless filler rod and refitted, happy days.
Was wondering if the bracket that the exhaust bolts to being plastic and flexible was the culprit, to be fair the exhaust was fitted about 10yrs ago so its lasted well and is still looking good.
Cheers
Chris
