dagling Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 My Yoshimura Exhaust System RSCV damaged. Exhaust system is made of stainless steel. Cost me about 1300 US dollars with shipping, so had hoped to avoid buying a new one. There is also a small dent near the rear brake pedal. The injury happened while I was in Norway, my wife's nephew (16 years old) found out that he would try to sit on the bike while my wife was not home. He lost balance / footing and bike overturned. Can this damage be fixed and painted up again? Someone who can give me advice on where and how much this will cost? I am a resident in Khon Kaen area.

Shurup Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 As far as I can tell, the damage is only cosmetic. I'd just repaint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg71 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 A can of heat resistant paint will set u back no more than 200 baht .A few quick coats and it will be looking half way decent . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 One option - if all 100% stainless, remove paint, polish, remount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ll2 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 is there a dent or hole? if just a dent, it is cosmetic. if a hole, just go to a welder nd they fix it and paint it over heat resistant paint. no need to chuck out another 1300 usd!

papa al Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Where can I get an exhaust system built to resemble this beezer's. A work of art imo. Edited January 20, 2015 by papa al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Such a small dent / crease ( just above the upper edge of the pedal arm ) , wont cause any performance loss and could be filled with braze. Then get it heat paint sprayed , or remove and have it dipped. Has the nephew,s injuries healed yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray cans are fairly easy to operate. If you really don't want to, then any metal cutting/welding/exhaust shop in your area should be able to help you out. My only fear there is that they won't remove your exhaust and that risks over-spray somewhere where you don't want it. If you do it yourself (without removing the exhaust) you can mask off the entire bike before spraying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubberSideDown Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 You should be able to find high-temp spray paint at HomePro or similar- look for something made specifically for barbecues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'd second the suggestion of heat resistant paint. I used it when my KSR exhaust went a bit off colour. Gave it a good clean, a gentle sand down and resprayed. I'd suggest you do the same with yours or pay a local to do it if you don't want to. Looks very minor damage to me.
