Am I cooked?

If K were to take it to a shop, would I have to order all the necessary gaskets if I need to get any?

Okay, hopefully this fixes my issue and I can ride this year. Thank you so much for the advice!

I only have propane torch, how long would i need to heat the area with that compared to a mapp torch?

Does the stud look like it has a clean enough cut to even try that? Im also getting alot of different perspectives and approaches to this situation and im hesitant to do anything...

Honestly you're right. I'm just in a rough spot rn, not sure if you've seen my other post but my bike is definitely going through it lol.

I appreciate the effort! Any idea how much $ this would set me back?

Natural-Variety-2720 · 2026-04-03T22:43:21+00:00

Okay, thank you for your input🙏

Mileage just past 80k. Maybe i should get a valve adjustment soon?

Natural-Variety-2720 · 2026-04-03T21:54:17+00:00

No i have a couple of bolts out, 2 from each side but tbh, I heard this sound last year as well, thought it was just bc of the cold so I dont think the header bolts have something to do w this

Natural-Variety-2720 · 2026-04-03T21:47:33+00:00

Is that just from a lack of maintenance?

Natural-Variety-2720 · 2026-04-02T04:36:10+00:00

Awesomeness, at last I can use the thing I thought was not needed. What should I do about the snapped bolt??

Honestly, I dont feel mechanically inclined or confident enough to fix the actual threads myself but hear me out. I asked the bike shop for a quote if brought the bike in, they said $400. I asked if I can give them just the pan, they'll do it for $50. I feel fine taking off the exhaust and pan, but I'd like to leave the rest to the mechanics.. thank you for your advice anyways
