Re: Removing Exhaust Bolts
Glad you got the bolts out! I had one snap years ago. Not fun
Is your oil cooler bent forward, or am I imagining that? |

Re: Removing Exhaust Bolts
To be honest, in the middle of my 2 weeks of dealing with my sheared bolt I put it all back together with only one bolt holding it in place and the old gasket left in so I could ride it around to people to see if they could help... and it all worked fine. The bracket was on at an angle with only one bolt holding it, but nothing seemed to be leaking and it ran perfectly. I did the gasket as I'd ordered one, had the dremel with attachments to make it easy to cut out the old one and sand back the corrosion and wanted to just do it all properly as I had it apart. I didn't want to be doing it all again any time soon. Although I will exercise those bolts and maybe remove and regrease them from time to time to make sure they never seize again.
If it was me I'd get the gasket out and a new one in, but you may well be fine without. It was the easiset part of my ordeal. |

Like you I was going to crack each of the Allen bolts once a year, and maybe put a smear of copper brake grease on the threads when I put it back together. Alan |

Re: Removing Exhaust Bolts
The seals are pretty soft and shouldn't be too difficult to remove, even if it's been in there for a while. I just got a thin screwdriver behind it, when I changed mine, a few light taps and a twist and it deformed and then it came out

Re: Removing Exhaust Bolts
All done, the new seals and bolts both came in the mail today and the bike is back together:
No leaks and it sounds fine. I did change the seal, but I was sort of wishing I hadn't bothered half way through, it was hard to get the old one out and lots of cleaning up was required: ... the old one is at the top! End of this thread I think, many thanks for your contributions. Alan Last edited by Othen; 26-02-19 at 06:05 PM. |

Re: Removing Exhaust Bolts
... to round off this thread:
That is all the work I'd intended to do on this project bike, it now stops, starts, runs, keeps the water and oil inside the engine and the exhaust gas inside the muffler. I'll tax if from 1 April and enjoy it for a while. I think it came out quite well for a £900 bike: Last edited by Othen; 28-02-19 at 09:38 AM. |
