Basically, I don’t remove the exhaust pipe. <\/span><\/strong>
I don’t touch it unless absolutely necessary… especially not stainless steel that’s been on for decades.

But here’s the thing – why bolts? <\/span><\/strong>

The benefits are… engine removal? Exhaust removal? Flange flexibility? I suppose.
I looked into it a bit seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

OEM parts are still Honda after all! ( *\u00b4\u8278\uff40)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stud image “left is insertion”.
Basically, the part number 92900-080\u25a0\u25a00B – the \u25a0\u25a0 is the protruding length.
Hmm, that’s easy to understand…

Just a few dozen yen per piece… wonderful Honda.
Why I chose 4 pieces is… a mystery (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One problem came up…
Under-tube side too tight for the tap to fit = had to buy a long tap ( \uff1b\u2200\uff1b)<\/strong>
I’ll clean up after and assemble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too tight for the stud bolt insertion tool to fit (homemade) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can be made DIY with a high nut + set screw + steel ball.
No stopper for the steel ball, so be careful not to drop it.
\u2193Generally you use this to insert it (‘\u0414’)<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

Check the flange thickness! Choose based on bolt protrusion <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can also use Kawasaki OEM to handle it.
This hides things a bit even if the bolt length isn’t perfect, so it’s good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flanged or flanged lock nuts <\/strong>work too.

With the original bolts if you don’t apply proper torque “they loosen quickly” <\/span><\/strong>
But if the flange is thin it deforms <\/strong> that balance is extremely difficult <\/strong>to achieve.

Being able to use lock nuts is very advantageous <\/span><\/strong>
If the flange doesn’t deform and there’s no exhaust leak <\/strong> that’s <\/strong>perfect, right?

I did it this time since I had the opportunity to remove it but it’s a hassle so don’t ask me to do it. <\/span><\/strong>*Do it yourself
well I plan to do all my Suzuki bikes this way (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
