Didn't seem to affect performance though, and it didn't break through, just made a huge dent. And by the looks of it, it happened quite a few times. Maybe I should look into a 230E shock like lt230sman did. I was going to tighten mine up, but realized it was all the way tight already.

But anyways, can I use JB weld on exhaust? MY exhaust rattles like a mother where the head and mid-pipe meet. I have the clamp as tight as she goes and the stupid thing they call a gasket is an impossibly thin piece of sheet steel. So i was just curious if I could JB that shut if I clean it up nice. Then I won't have all that nasty soot on top of my motor!

Also, josmuck, join the LT230S social group I sent you an invite for! We were the very first social group, and only a few shy of the biggest!
I don't know if jb will work. Motomans says not to use it there. You're losing all kinds of power by letting that leak. If exhaust comes out the hole, then air is going in instead of scavenging more a/f mix. Just get the right gasket. It can't cost that much.

Yeah, Jo, hang out for a while. I have a few questions about the German economy anyway.

Its good for seeing if we can get a larger group than the Polaris guys! Go to the quick links tab on this site and under that menu you should see social groups. Its not terribly excitibg.

Maybe I'm too old to understand. I have a 22 yr old friend in OH I stay in touch with. He sends me myspace messages instead of regular emails. I hate that! It means I have to dig out my password, log into myspace just to see what the hell he said when he could have just sent a quick email or something. I don't get it. It takes me 15 extra clicks of the mouse to read a myspace message as opposed to an email.

I was in Miami Oct of 2005 for hurricane Wilma. Although a cool experience to witness a hurricane go right over my head, I wouldn't want to own anything there. One guy moved his porsche to a more "secure" location... By morning a roofing tile had smashed the top of it!

And as bad as that sucker was, we had directTV the entire time... Until the wind blew a piece of something into the dish and moved it. When the power was back on a few days later, I just moved the dish back.

Wow, that's a big drop! The us dollar is up against the canadian over the last year too.... You'd think the lobster would be even cheaper to the US citizens, but I guess people don't have the money to spend on fancy food like lobster. Sounds tasty to me though. Do you get sick of eating lobster?
