    Stock exhaust replacement

    Yes, much patience is needed and really thankful for the wisdom. I will loosen the front again and use mallet / jack method. I realize muffler work on the ground with just one person is difficult and requires ingenuity. Both rear pipes did great. Front needed 3/8-1/2 inch more. I have very small...

    Stock exhaust replacement

    Took it out for a ride, leaks a little, not bad. Will seal it with high temp rtv. Bike runs awesome. You were right, 2dmax and Fire-medic bike runs like it should. Twisted throttle a little to much and back tire started singing sweet medley's. I love it. Thanks for your help. The time people...

    Stock exhaust replacement

    Got it as good as I could, will it leak exhaust, most likely as the penetration on the front pipes was not good. Maybe a half inch at best, they just would not go any further and I followed your steps on muffler installation. Thought I read a thread on the forum about someone who said they were...

    Stock exhaust replacement

    10-4 on the inner slide hammer. That might work but, they are so soft and as you say delaminate / fall apart easily. Splitting them with hacksaw blade is a good option. Either way is not going to be easy. I'm also seeing a extremely close fit like it might be too short. Hoping this is an...

    Stock exhaust replacement

    Thanks for that gasket knowledge. Did not realize rear cyl's had 3 different types. My issue is the stock muffler that I bought appears to have -44's already installed in the holes and my pipes have them installed on them as well. Don't know how you would get them out of muffler so I guess the...

    Stock exhaust replacement

    Just spent most of the day trying to install stock muffler, could not figure out why down pipes would not fit. I think there are bushings on the pipes as well as in the muffler. So limited in parking lot with no air or power. Thinking that removing the down pipes and taking them to a shop to be...

    Parts Wanted 1FK-14638-00-00, Collar

    Sean, thanks for your help and your video's ! My bikes previous owner removed center stand attachment brackets with a cut off wheel. There is a small square box shaped piece with hole in the bottom that is welded to the frame. I'm hoping that's where the center of the muffler attaches and holds...

    I would also like to say thanks to Sean Morley for incredible video's, fixed my steering and added air to forks, different bike until no.2 float stuck, but no worries banged it with screwdriver. No seriously carbs are coming I know that much. And everybody's opinion is welcomed and appreciated...

    Rebuild carbs??

    Thanks Fire-medic, just tried to cancel order. Wish me luck, truth is I'm on disability and have no business spending a grand on pipes, then carbs. New in the beginning that it needed to be stock @58 but it pulls amazingly well. Only can imagine what Parminio described, maybe screaming. If I get...
