What would cause a split on the Exhaust Can of a Bike?
saw?
hammer?
dunno ;-)
Id@
Took my exhaust off and found an 8 inch slit on the can , right at the seam!.. :o
builder eror
BACK FIRE
was it stock or aftermarket?
Stock
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?
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) ???
Thanks , gonna weld it up and start plug chopping. :ThumbsUp.gif
Beans will cause that too. ;)

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.
Maybe u hit a rock.
