couldn't figure out what the buzzing sound was today or why my exhaust note was different and why my bike was backfiring constantly, then I realized on the roadside that my rear cylinder header bolts found a new home on a road somewhere and metal header ring was the source of the buzzing, and the loose header was to blame for noise & backfiring. I'd be thankful if someone could provide the part numbers or size & pitch for the bolts/gaskets I'll be needing to buy. As well, might this lead to another problem I could take care of in advance? I did notice some change in decompression on decel, but figure it'll be sorted when I get it back together properly. Rode fewer than 50 miles like this today. Also, have sprung an oil leak in the right side rear cylinder head, dunno if it's related? thanks in advance! (Message edited by buellgler on September 04, 2005) | ||

Just for your info, You can also use intake manifold/carb bolts. The kind you use on cars. the are two sided, course on one side NF on the other. if they don't have the length you need at your local pet peeve boys (look where they keep all the chrome do-dads) you can go to your local speed shop. It is surprising that they feel out usually they get stuck in there. | ||

buellgler:  16715-83 is on the bag (stud, exhaust port) is how the bag is other wise marked. (a bag is 10 pcs) and these are made in the usa! nut 7593 retaining ring 65325-83a gasket for exhaust port, no number?? rocker box kit (2 heads)17036-91 the kit is the steel box base gasket with all other box seals.  check the rear head I wonder if the studs broke off that would be the most common failure mode they endure a lot of heat and hot cold cycles.
