I noticed my exhuast started rattling at low RPMS. I checked it for cracks and whatnot and noticed two parts rubbing together causing the rattling. I hope the picture is clear.
Should these two "plates" be welded together or should there be a nut on the bolt coming through bottom of the engine block?
I'm taking it up to my local next week for an oil change and once over and, if there's a problem, warranty should take care of it, but I'm curious now.

That's what I figured.Tipper wrote:There should be a captive nut attached to the bracket on the exhaust. Of those two bits of the bracket are rubbing together the weld is broken.
I'm on the third exhaust in a year on my four stoke,they seem to mostly be made of broken biscuits.
I'm about to hit 6k miles on the first stock exhaust and it's been about 14 months since I got the bike. I know the exhausts on these are very hit or miss (usually miss) so I consider myself lucky to have made it this far with the original. It's still under warranty so a new one it is! By this time next year, we'll hopefully have a good handle on the best aftermarket exhausts.
