Did the weld Crack?

im guessing your refering to the muffler.
dont know about bikes but on a car a backfire would cause the muffler to blow.
usually from an introduction of oxygen(lean)into the exhaust.
possibly an exhaust leak., or a defective weld at the seam.

It is not a real visible seam , rather hidden but looking close you can see it , and that is where is seperated , and the metal was pushed out like it BLEW...so I guess you are correct Gery . So I can assume my bike was running a bit lean prior to the blow out?

gery350 · May 11, 2006, 04:04:23 PM

man i would have to guess yes.
that or out of timing.
you could always pull the plug and see whats going
on in the cylinder.

remember i am using my automotive knowledge and
applying it to atvs. the 4 stroke theory i believe is
the same regardless of size or application.
(i think)

excessive weight may cause frame to twist putting stress on the welds.......

Yoshi?...I have seen one on a KQ and the rider liked but I can not get HMF outta my head...lol....I sure as heck will not buy a stock pipe if this weld does not work , it is only like 20$ difference.
