Exhaust Collector Repair

Post by EXUPMarky »

The cast steel exit section on the 4:1 collector needs replacing or a repair where the silencer clamps on.

I think it's Cast Steel and can check with a grinder for the presence of sparks as a quick check.

Anyone have any experience of repairing the collector on these bikes?

I may open up the silencer too and have a look inside..

That'll save me machining something from stock so thanks for the tip!

Is it cast steel do you know as I'll then just use a Mild Steel filler rod?

Cheers
