Exhaust can repair? - SV650.org

10-10-12, 11:22 AM

I had a little coming together at Oulton Park earlier this year and as a result, the Scorpion logo on my exhaust was half ripped off and a rivet has come loose on the back end of the can. I can see its loose as there is black exhaust "soot" building up around it. Is there a way to repair this? Im presuming it can be re-riveted but I wouldnt know how to go about this? Also, does anyone know if Scorpion can supply new logos? It looks like its only a stick on gel type thing.

Cheers

I would assume drill out the old rivet (like you would if one was holding your baffle in) and replace with a new one.
Only thing I could think of is if the rivet material needs to be made of something specific.
I can have a look for a hand riveter in the garage later if you want (I can't be that far from you).

That's what I'd do...tbf I'd probably leave it as the soot will block it enough eventually.

Stainless is the metal used .
Ally ones are too soft
