Posted: xv:54 - 08 Sep 2017 Post subject field: Frazzle wrap over holes
Recently had a couple backfires while riding, they take blew a couple of pea sized holes in my ageing stainless downpipes, which is getting thin. Only five years one-time but 50k miles. If I wrap the collector portion where the holes are appearing, this should cease fresh air getting in, proceed it tranquility, and allow mot to pass in Novemeber? Is this any expert? www.ebay.co.great britain/itm/182567052876 Plan to change bikes side by side yr later on she hits 100k, so non buying a new exhaust.

Cut a department of steel can (broiled bean etc) that covers the holed department and wraps neatly round information technology. Rub the pipe down with some wire wool to remove any rust and degrease it. Utilize gun gum liberally to the back of your bit of tin can. Wrap it tightly round the pipe and secure by firmly wrapping garden wire circular and round it. Now put your exhaust cast over the height of that and secure with more than wire wrapped round information technology in a spiral. If y'all're feeling smashing, jubilee prune elevation and bottom communicable botht the can patch and the bandage. Run the engine slowly up to temperature to cure the gungum and bandage. From experience, the above will either fail near immediately or last for years. Information technology's been a long time since I've had to do that. I would be very tempted to substitute plumbers silicone for gun gum after recent feel of sealing exhausts and wood burning stoves with it. ____________________ "Rule ane: Always stick around for one more drinkable.

I've been using epoxy putty on mine, works for a while (week or two) then more than rust around the periphery allows it to blow out. Works improve on the silencer tbh, and y'all have to "work" it so some of the putty is within the pipe, worked underneath the edges for it not to blow directly out again..... (Passed an mot, as not leaking./ subconscious with fresh ht paint... just demand to weld properly now as 5.30 am start for piece of work with currently noisy piping will piss off neighbours) Gungum, equally mentioned by Stink, can work if done properly, ie, sandwiched, as he suggested, but it is brittle and flakey, doesn't like getting wet.

I second this, i used a can on my exhaust which passed an MOT no trouble ____________________ CG125 1991[Sold] YBR 125 2009[SOLD] SV650s 1999-CBR600F-H 87 [Mod1 Passed 23/05/2016] [Mod2 Passed 09/06/2016] Update: I like cake BCF BBQ 2017 I was the one who dropped the SV haha

Tig is a poor choice for exhaust repairs anyway. Quote: At back of collector it is croaky.

Really, why is TIG a poor selection ? ____________________ Always learning, everyday is a school day

However it seems to exist extremely thin in places and probably past welding even for experienced tig. I am not welding it on the bike. I am not removing information technology from the cycle - its bent and will not get dorsum on! At back of collector it is cracked. I have a wad of fiberglass, wrapped in stainless mesh, held on by a large hose clip. Its worked well for vii months. It does non need to be sealed or gas tight. I want to preclude oxygen getting in which will blow it autonomously, and some mild baffling would exist nice for the mot man. Gumgum will neglect first time it gets moisture. I call back frazzle wrap plus loftier temp sillicone will probably do what I need. Thanks. After reading this I really retrieve it is time to bite the bullet and supercede the exhaust ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition
