Crack in pipe
I was just cleanen the blood and feathers off the bike...another story...when I noticed that on the back jug...the pipe the connects from the left, welded into the the right has a crack in it. Is that something that can be welded....and welded while its on the bike?

Just me, but I'd pull it off--easier for the welder to work on it and a lot less likely to fry anything electronic by accident.

Just dropped in to moderate what I thought was a drug thread. Carry on.
BTW..take the pipe off. |

If you take it off to weld (electric) watch for heat warping.

just throw the bike down on the left side so all the sparks fall on the floor and not on anything important

hey good idea ... matter of fact I just happen to have one, bought a used front head pipe off a 08 from a guy across the street, he sent me both front and rear head pipes. it has a o2 bung (18 mm threads) you'd have to plug but I dont need it for sure... if you want it its yours for shipping. just say the word. I may even have the original off my '06 somewhere, I took it off when I went to duals, I'd have to look for it to be sure.

That's what I love about this place...
I was just being a smartass... and it sparked a possible solution.

Had the head welder at the shop check out the crack....good news is he can get to it...the bad news is he thinks I should replace it...worse news it whomever put it in might have had the jugs out to get it in...I have to take the heat sheilds off tonight....then he can weld it in place...gets some brass in the crack....will keep you posted.
