I give the snod sideways nod to everyone apart from chavs on scooters with tshirts on they can go fall off for i care. if there is a group of bikers comming towards me then i will stick my hand up or put my knee or leg out just depends. I always not at police bikers and they nod back, never had one copper that has not, even had cops in cars stick there thumb up at me whilst going past. But that does not happen often there normally pulling me over to hav a go or cream over my bike lol

couldnt believe the amount of damage to the stud, I was expecting a crack or something not half of it missing pretty bad. It should hold up for a while bu the epoxy wont last for ever. If i was you i would make plans to get the stud bolt welded back into place. If you was to drop the manifold and take it to a welders they wouldnt charge muchjust to spot it back into place. God know what the chp did to it before you brought it, but you done a good job on the bodge getting it back together.

yay you sorted it nice one mate, that stud looked a rite mess once you had taken the gum off it. What you going to do leave it like that or get a new manifold? what u think about tha gaskit sealer then i love the stuff

ur joking someone has stolen it f**king w**kers bloody scum sorry to hear about this.

if you just put a small sprocket on the back without changing the front then it will just slow down you acceleration but give you slighty better top end. change the front sprocket along with the back to sort this out.

If i remember correctly (terrible memory) the copper ones are like paper thin the ali ones are the best ones, they are thicker. keep us updated on this if yu wouldnt mind.

yes mate thats the stuff life saver that is super stuff. you will still need to use gaskets if they are there but its just an extra seal to make sure its nice and sealed. any exhaust i touch i use that stuff.

If you drop the exahust from the manifold pop down to halfords and buy some gaskit paist, It comes in a toothpaist tube and its blue cant remember for the life of me what its called. Its about 5 quid when before you stick the manifold on put that on round the hole in the manifold plate then put it on will give a perfect seal if you do it right and will stop any blowing in the future. I swear by the stuff when i do an exhaust.

Are you 100% sure the noise s coming from the exhaust? if you drop the exhaust have a good play getting it set back up again and it is still ralleling let me know coud always pop down and have look im only in cannock so not to far. if its not the exhaust thats knocking then i coud be many things. good old case of fault finding. best way to get that stuff off is get a butter knife or something like that and scrape it off, but to be honest leave it on cus when u strip that down i dont think your going to like what you see and might cost a big. The stuff will blow off in the end but whilst its solid leave it trust me did it on a mates car to get it passed mot. there middle section had a split on the box i covered it in that just to bodge it past mot and the stuff lasted bloody ages.

it shouldnt blow or anything if its sealed properly the amount they have put on that if you chip it away you will proberly find that the downpipe has been split or its got a crack in it. To be honest if the exhaust isnt blowing i would not touch that gaskit sealer as it is a bodge job but its a good bodge. If one of the mounts looks a bit crap check that and line it back up, that should sort out the rattling. If you do line it back up right and it starts to blow a wee bit check the gaskit on the downpipe moving the exhuast can cause them to move just depends if the pipes are resessed for each other. If you have any problems matey just let me know

check the spark plug for when its starting the cutting out could be many of things, could be your idle control thats playing up and thats why its cutting out at lights ect.

that stuff looks like gakit sealer thats been well and truey plastered on, could the could be comming from the thingy bob where the bolt is, mental block forgot whats its called. I dubt its the gaskit cus it would blow like a bitch if it was loose, you wanna check the exhaust mounts to see if they are all sitting ok that could be the cause of the problem.

the bt 050 was a god peace of rubber never had any problems with that on my vfr
