    After crashing my bike, i sorted the panels out and so...
    But when i start the bike the exhaust is sooo loud, and when i cover the exhaust up so it should cut out it doesn't so air is coming from somewhere.


    where the exhaust screws into the engine at the bottom, the nuts are tightened as much as they can go it seems, and i cant get a tool on them to see if they will tighten anymore till friday :/

    but the nut on the left is rounded so i cant even take the exhaust off :confused: any ideas?

    It could be bent so it's not sealing on the cylinder or could just have a hole you haven't noticed.

    well then it sounds like u have a blown exhaust.. or blowing.. check for holes everywhere and see if u can feel any gas escaping. as for the rounded bolt i would maybe leave it for a mechanic to try and take of with a pair of mole grips

    yeah thats what im thinking, you have a typh dont you? the exhaust on the airbox side, how do you get the nut off? i physically cannot find a tool i can fit in there haha, without taking the engine out :/


    yeah i think i will get it down to a mechanic, just cba paying ridiculous prices when i could probably do it myself; just takes the piss having to mess around haha
