well Add me to the club. I noticed a small exhaust leak so I went to tighten it down and snap. busted off right at the head. I should be able to get it out with vice grips, I hope my local dealer has these in stock. its supposed to be 70 all week here... DAMN ME!!!!:edit:

 

[Masochist]

Yeah, torque spec is pretty light for that bolt...16lbs I think but don't quote me.

Well, at least you have lots of good suggestions here if the vice grips don't work:

It is more then 16 lbs. I would have to look it up to tell you exactly what it is. Always tighten things up with a torque wrench on the bike.

Let us know if you dealer does not have it. And check with your local 9 owners that have changed out to different pipes. If I remember correctly, they come with new bolts so they should have the old ones.

Actually 16.5 ft/lbs is the torque value for the exhaust bolts. So, masochist was right there. Hey Ryan, get yourself a service manual, it's the only mod that keeps giving....:joke:

Ray, he hasn't figured out what that multiquote button is for yet. Don't expect him to decipher a service manual. :joke:

J/k Ryan, you keep on going my friend.

See now you are going to make me go out to my garage and get it. But if you guys say 16.5 then it is. I just thought it was more for those bolts.

Why wouldn't you just buy them from your local hardware store ? They are just a Metric Allen (Stainless)@ $1.00 each.

:agree: and get 10mm longer ones as well as the holes are deeper than they appear

Because I did and the threads were slightly different...just enough for me to say no way and wait for the oem bolts to show up in the mail.

thats exactly what I did. I picked up 2 of them for 4.09. they are stainless steel so they should be good. threads were perfect.
