Hi guys, I was cleaning my bike today and noticed my left Rinehart slip on exhaust is loose and has play around the mount. (up/down and left and right)

The slip on exhaust muffler clamp is torque to 40lbs. The Two screw on the top side of the muffle is torque down to 12lbs. I try to swap the rubber mount from left to right and it the left one still had play.

Is this a common thing on the touring bike?
should i order new rubber mounts?
Is there anything else I should try, could the cross over pipe cause this.

I figure I would tackled this myself, because if I go to the dealership, they probably say it not cover because I installed the cat-less header and slip on myself.

 

 

The left pipe on my true duals was doing the same thing. I replaced the rubber insert and it's fine. New rubber was under $5.

 

Jdgresham Thanks, I will order one tomorrow. Question when you loose the two bolts holding muffler to the saddlebag support does the muffler stay straight or does it slide down towards the floor?

 

Is it just the slip on moving or the the cross over pipe moving too...i had the same thing happen and found out tve bolts that hold the crossover bracket up to the transmission had disappered..dont know if mayb i forgot to tighten them or not

 

Most will do that if part #30 is not good and tight.

 

Mine stayed straight.

 

Had this same issue with mine.

 

If you loosen the two bolts under the saddle bag the mufflers will drop a little, not to the ground.

Unless the rubber that the bracket runs thru is really wore out you should get no play.

Did you check to see how far the muffler is installed over the cross over?

As far as I know, both mufflers should be solid at both mounting points, where the mufflers connect to the exhaust headers and the rear mounting braket.

 

Thank you guys. I had to replace part #24. The bike only has 5,000 miles but the rubber exhaust mount had some play. Total cost $5.

I also slide the crossover clamp to the edge of the pipe and it was able to get a better seal on the header pipe.

Thank you guys for the help.
