what size exhaust clamp

i dont know if this is related to my exhaust popping and banging on throttle roll off more than ever but out today and heard a rattle but never paid much attention,put the bike back in the garage and started to solvol the exhaust and noticed this clamp missing (circled yellow),the exhaust seems rock solid even with the clamp gone so i`m not convinced but maybe you mechanic types will know better.
anyway to save embarrassment in the dealer tomorrow can anyone tell me what size this clamp is please.
thanks.

That particular clamp is welded at source IIRC. Its been like that for about two years in that state.
As for the popping and banging, check the air pipes on the carbs. dave does tend to pop a little from time to time, but once, far in the past, there was a small hole in an air pipe, its worth a peep as a long shot. Other than that I couldn't suggest anything else that it could be.

Thinks its about a 43mmish size, so 43-47 should do. Clamps higher up are 52-55 off top of my head

well that clamp is down the road somewhere so i need another oh and i`m keeping him now after looking at all the sheds out there i wont get anything near as good for the same money.

I edited again...bloddy blondes always adding a bit more!

As for keeping him.......yippppppeeeeeeee!!!!!!
That clamp on all curvies gets so crudded up they stay on for good lol. Might be a task getting off what has been left behind

there is nothing left at all lou which makes it easier for me.

haha Let that shiny pipe down anyway!

Mines missing never been there since i had the bike and not caused any probs i wouldn't bother unless it really is leaking or something

I only just replaced mine - looks like it corroded and fell off years ago.

I got these from ebay:

is that an aftermarket exhaust system?
mine used to pop on idle when the blue flame was fitted
145 main jets sorted this out as did decent fuel

Its a Scorpon can on a custom made link pipe. Its been there for over 4 years in my ownership, and has never been an issue as far as putting different jets are concerned., which is why I pointed to the airpipes on the carbs as a port of call. It has always had a standard air filter, and standard jets in it. IMO there is no need to be fiddling with jet sizes this far into the union of bike and pipe

It pops occasionally on the overun, when you get it to low revs. Its has never popped on idle.

Paul, I've a funny feeling about that battery, although new. Years ago we had a problem with back firing on the Raptor, and turned out, the battery was the problem, very very weird I know!
