    First day of vacation and my y pipe graphite ring blew out.
    Any ideas for a short term fix?

    Mine blew out too. Not sure about a quick fix. Took longer than expected to change. Removed header pipe, crash bars, tank to do it.

    It's been together for 40,000 miles on a 90,000 mile bike.
    I guess its time to check some bolts?

    Fold tinfoil up and push it in place. Held for three months on mine.
