    Correct Exhaust removal order on 80 GS850G to access drain pan

    What is the order in which I should remove the exhausts on an 850G? I searched the forum on an exhaust removal guide and did not find one. I want to remove the oil drain pan and the exhaust exchange and the pipes joining into the main muffler and blocking a clean removal.
    Kindly suggest how to remove the exhaust correctly so that I could access the drain pan nuts located right behind these exhausts.
    I have OEM exhausts.

        Take your time when trying to remove those header flange bolts, they tend to stick and heads break off if your not careful, sometimes even if your careful.
