MY03 200miles of 55k.
Replaced the headers probably 8-9 years ago cannot remember with what but they are SS and looking ok for thier age.
But this week i started to notice at startup an odd noise at idle. I stop at a set of lights 1/2 mile from home every weekday and by then the noise disappears until the last few days.
So it's definatly turned into blowing headers.
The nuts are SS and holding up to the year round weather that is thrown at them but this is the big but
the studs (90116-06475)
look like they have rotted with corrosion can this happen to a 55k 16year old bike.
Will I need to replace the studs with new one's which i know can be a knightmare.
may try and put a photo on tomorrow.....
