    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have a hold on the bottom of my exhaust muffler. It's about the size of the tip of my pinky. I think it's too big to fill will a weld job. Do you know of any other compound that I can fill it with or repair it?
 
they sell some stuff called quicksteel at walmart. like putty than hardens. about $2. i used it on my truck exhaust that had a tiny hole. works great.

Why not use a patch? Cut a piece of sheet metal somewhat larger than the hole. Just tack or stitch weld it in place. If it's not too close to the engine, JB Weld would work.
 
permatex has a line of muffler repair stuff. you can get it at autozone or advance. I have a fleet farm and get mine there. It hardens like steel and resists heat too. It is made too patch holes. Its like furnance cement actually.
But it will chip after years and years and years of riding.
 
Is this a rusted out hole or is it a drain hole put there by the factory? Suzuki & all manufacturers put drain holes in their exhaust to let the water drain that is created when you start the bike cold. Make sure before you do anything.
