Re: what size exhaust clamp
 

i`ll check the battery lou but tbh it never pops on tickover and always has loads of cranking power however i have noticed a small drip of petrol when the bike is first turned off so i dont know if that has anything to do with anything.

My bike pops and burps on the over run tis normal, never on idle tho

Re: what size exhaust clamp
 

nice one daveyrach,i`m probably just being paranoid or taking more notice now.

Re: what size exhaust clamp
 

Well there ya go. A little paranoia never hurt anyone :)
Dunno why theres a bit o petrol though, what directions it coming from?

Re: what size exhaust clamp
 

right underneath it be dripping from but does not do it for long only a few drips.

Re: what size exhaust clamp
 

Strange place to drip from. Not from breather pipe then?

Re: what size exhaust clamp
 

yeah possibly but no big deal as it`s only now and again,more noticeable when the tanks fullish so yes probably a breather.

Re: what size exhaust clamp
 

well i got the bike on the paddock stand today to drop the oil (castrol gtx in asda 5l for £6,damaged bottle)and after changing the oil i started the bike and found the exhaust blowing quite a lot from the joint where the clamp is missing from right underneath so i guess that is where it`s popping from so would you recommend me putting exhaust sealant on the pipe around the joint before i tighten the clamp up?.
cheers.

A side issue but:
Hang on... isn't Castrol GTX for cars?

Re: what size exhaust clamp
 

i bloody hope not lol,but it was 10w40 semi synth so i assumed it`s all the same.if not i`ll just drop it and put something else in but i cant see it being an issue.
