I tried those thread lockers on bigger bolts before and this stuff doesn't seem to work unless the threads are small. Is the muffler guaranteed against cracks? Maybe you should ask John about the specifics of the one year warranty, since it was installed in China and it should be covered. I looked at the ZEI ATVs that were sold a couple of weeks ago at eBay, and those prices were far far better than in the states. I believe they were sold for clearances in eBay for just over $1200 CAD while in the states they sold for a whopping $4500 USD for the same model bike.

I rode my bike around the spring mud the last few days, there seems to be no way of avoiding the mud sprays with this thing LOL. I think I'll go for a bigger bike with better fenders later this year.
