And where is the crack?

When I got to the stop sign at the end of the back road i live on, I stopped. Started to go, and fish tailed. Got all straightend out on the highway giving it no throttle, gave it throttle and spun out complete 360. Oil was all over my back tire. the crack is on the bottom of the exhaust where the two pipes connect. The bike sounds better with the crack. Beefier, like a cambells chunky soup commercial.

You are far enough from the valves that will not hurt the engine.

Remember that it does need to fixed, so it will keep the same back pressure.

Exhaust changes require carb changes.

True in general but something as small as that probably doesn't.

I agree that you probably should get it fixed because the crack will likely "grow" and eventually go all the way around the pipe...........at which time it will sound like crap and might affect the pressure enough that it won't run right.

Oil all over the back tire.......... :??:
STILL ??
No, never mind. :roll:

I hear ya Easy. Don't go there. We will just hope Dan has a medical plan.

Man. I think you guys are confused. When the oil plug fell out, i spun out. When we fixed it we found the crack and cleaned the tires. I didn't wreck again. Yet.
