    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.

Rode bike a bit harder than normal on way home from bike shop this afternoon. By 'harder' I mean higher revs through about 8500-. Notice a rattle at the higher RPMs and on inspection after getting home, seems my right side exhaust shroud (chrome cover mounted over exhaust') was loose. Checked bracket and seems no screw is there.....

but then checked on the other side and same deal...no screw...

Does anyone know:

a) is there supposed to be a screw in this hole?
b) what size is it? 6mm?

Thanks (pics to follow).

yes, a screw definately goes there, but im not sure of the size
 
You are actually missing 2 screws per muffler. Alphasports shows a screw and lockwasher for each hole. I can't remember if 5 or 6 mm and fairly short, possibly 10 mm in length; I know they don't come out easy though. BTW some one replaced your rectifier/regulator with aftermarket, most likely an improvement.
 
good eye!

good eye!

I've replaced that regulator twice with aftermarkets from Electrosport!

Now to shore up my exhausts.....
 
I had one of those postage stamp sized RRs on my bike once.

Once.........


I used loktite on my screws since there really is no need to remove that shield and you don't want it falling off. Most are NLA from the dealer.
