Title: Exhaust leak in the middle [stock muffler]
Post by Riddmkidd on 12/12/25 at 18:42:17

Hi all,

Looks like my clamp at the connector is loose. It's #12 on the diagram. Is there a torque setting for it? Also does it matter which orientation the clamp goes? I've got it rotated for access to it while it's mounted on the bike. Still have a leak, though.

I've got a replacement oem clamp and connector so take 2 when I have time.

Also, thr forward clamp has broken off both rear heat shields! I found a spare on ebay and I swear the tab was on there when it arrived. My original one snapped off before I got it so I'm finally dealing with the issue. How crucial is that clamp? That's just securing the heat shield to the muffler, correct?

I'd like to keep it stock but these circumstances are making a delkevic or dyna slip on pretty tempting.
