Title: exhaust manifold leakage? Post by sunbomb on 04/12/12 at 12:55:00 Hi, This hasn't caused a problem or anything, but on start, I notice that there is a noticeable amount of smoke (or is vapor) that comes out of the area around the join of the exhaust and the manifold of the cylinder. I don't notice it as much when the bike is running for some time. Is this common? Thanks!

Only do it when its cold, leave the caveman at home, take the secretary for this. IIRC,, , its like 12 foot pounds? Check it out before you go do itl., & you mite be ahead to pull one, clean it up, put it back, pull the other one,,, clean it up.. Cant torque or feel how a bolt is acting if its half stuck from oxidation.
