Maybe a stupid question regarding manifold / exhaust

[Arjwalker]

Hi Guys,

So I've had to remove the exhaust so that I can replace the oil pan....

But I've noticed that a few of the bolts that screw in to the head and hold the clamps in place are a little bent? Is this normal or has someone over tightened these?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Anthony

Probably. Mine were not bent at all.

Yeah I didn't think so! It's kind of all making more sense now as I'm pretty sure that this would not have happened from factory so I'm guessing that someone has already removed the exhaust when they tried to repair the oil pan that they screwed up... Hence why I'm having to replace the pan now!

Thanks for your help.

When I messed my oil pan up I installed a full akra exhaust. It suckrd and was super annoying. What was wrong with the oil pan before?

I was doing an oil change and noticed that the oil plug was a little tight, turns out whoever put it in must have cross threaded it, as I pulled it out it stripped the thread.

I've got new pan coming so I am just getting the bike ready to swap straight over.

It seems that whoever had the bike before screwed everything up as even the clamps on the Exhausts are bent!
