Hole in my exhaust

[ginguar]

I have found a hole in my exhaust which makes my bike sound like a bi-plane. Any advice on what to block the hole with? (just need it to last until payday)

[numark1]

You can buy special exhaust putty that will temporarily seal it from most car shops.

[ginguar]

Excellent, they think of everything these days

[beast rider]

try and get something called 'quick steel' its brillient stuff,

i should know its holding the midle joint of my exhayst together.

How big is the hole? I have a couple of pin hole sized ones in my link pipe but doesn't cuz it to run rough or sound bad, just draws air to pop and flame on the over run

I think they are quite big and I am loosing power when I ride which, as I have a 125, is seriously affecting things.

Go to a car exhaust place and fall on their mercy.
They may inject a wad of 'Gun Gum' into your hole. And they might do it free.

get a bake bean tin, two jubilee clips, some cloth, and toothpaste.

saturate the cloth in toothpaste and cut it to make it slighly bigger than the hole.

cut the tin to make a path that covers over the hole, the cloth.

place the clotch n paste mix over the hole, place the tin patch over, then tighten down with the two jubilee clips.

Will last for a while.


There are commercial kits to dot the same, but you may have this lying about the house.

Youll want to get it welded or a new pipe in the long run.

If possible split a tin/beer can down one side and get it over the hole try and get some gum gum putty between the can and the exhaust and hold it all in place with a jubilee clip or a exhaust clamp at each end.




for small holes "GUM GUM" make a exhaust bandage which you dampen and wrap around the exhaust, it dries rock solid and seals the hole.

Cheers people, all sounds a little complicated (girl speak for this seems to involve effort) will have to get the other half to do it.

[Walloper]

Kwik-fit it.
Use your femininity.
Guys that work in these places are soft for a good-looking filly.
Unless your challenged on the looks front.

Last time I tried to use my femininity they tried to charge me £60 for a £15 job. Bit of a dent to the ego that one was

[delboy]

Oh i had a hole in my exhaust too but everytime i plugged up the hole the bike wouldn't start.

[Paracaine]

Ok, this is weird.

Took the Bandit out today and the exhaust was blowing like a bitch, checked the pipe and guess what, a nice fat hole underneath the bike.

I dropped it at a welding specialists and it is getting professionaly welded tomorrow morning.

No quick fixes for me.

Get you.
Well as the sum total of my wealth is currently around 47p it is going to have to be a quick fix until i can buy a new exhaust on pay day.

That's nice of you to offer to fill a lady's troublesome cavity for her.
