I want to remind everyone to check your bikes every once and while !!!!

The reason you ask LOLOL well let me tell you ...

I had parked my bike when I caught the boat and she sat for 7 days outside well she is not used to that and I thought she was mad at me LOL ...

I started her up and was warming her up well you all know how Magnas are about sitting well thats kinda what I thought and I took off going to the house well on the way it got a little worse and a little worse I guess it did not help me that racing the car HEY he started it !!!I was in 4th gear pulling along side him and THEN shifting as I waved BYE BYE LOL at 120mph LOL Oh where was I Oh yeah so she is getting louder and louder so I figure the Stealship is along the way I figure I will pull in there and see whats up well by the time I got there I kinda had an idea and when I got there well I was right .

What happen well the exhaust flange on the right head had lost one of the nuts and the other only had a few threads left if it would have come of which it pretty much  fell in my hand when I started to mess with it well there are scrapes on the bottom of the pipe as it is and now I KNOW where they came from that had to scare the crap out of the PO when the pipe fell of and is dragging the ground... Well the deal had the nuts and gaskets well copper oring so I replaced it and put a new nuut on it and tighten them down.... I guess this goes to show that even though those bolts and nuts have been tight for a while that does not guarantee they will stay that way forvever !!!!

So please go over your bike and check her every once and a while or she will tell you in the wrong way !!!!!!!
