Default Re: Bouncy ball down the exhaust :-(

The joys of parenthood. I would have been annoyed but he was so proud of what he'd achieved I couldn't help laughing.

I'm tempted to leave it and just ride the bike but then again I don't want to screw up the titanium header pipes - I'd be less bothered if it was the original ones. I'll see how I feel in the morning.

You do realise it will melt and make a real mess if you do?

Have you ever tried to get a melted plastic bag off your headers...well there's a lot more plastic in that ball...

Had melted boot on exhaust once. Just warm gently with a heat gun or blow torch and it'll come off. No scrubbing with wire wool or any harsh abrasive

And I do mean gently.

It'll be on the inside, whoose going to see it?

Don't worry if you're down about it either.... I'm sure you'll bounce back.
