    Hey everyone!

    So I start up my bike this morning and it starts making a super loud cracking/popping noise. The back wheel is moving on it’s own as well.

    The only thing that’s changed is I’ve put in new oil a few days ago.

    Here’s a link to a video I’ve taken, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Sounds like your exhaust is blowing. Put you hand around all the joints when fist starting from cold you will fell it blowing.

    I checked the exhaust and found the problem, both ends of the pipe have rusted and snapped!

    Im ordering a new exhaust but does anyone know a temporary fix? I’m doubtful though haha

    That's way past repairing. One part you may get away with that silver foil exhaust repair tape.. The the manifold part where it bolts to the engine can't really do anything about that. Mabe a proper bodge and put alot of exhaust paste around it but that won't last long
