#266565 Mo Mo (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 136 Manifold 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Folks, I am about to replace my manifold due to normal wear. I am wondering if you can help with some soughts/options for the brands you are recommending (links to the websites) would be greatly appreciated. Cheers   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #266575 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:Manifold 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Factory Port it if you want. I have a Ben Herr, He has no way of securing the carb to it, so your carb will fall out when it wants. And it leaks at each weather change, and I have went through half a dozen HD gaskets, (Thats what it uses, carb just pushes into the hole, no clamp, no o ring, no seal) And that is including about 2 tubes of RV glue I used to repair the gaskets after the Carb wore slices into them from vibration. (The Solid manifold vibrates a WHOLE lot more than the factory rubber one.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #266578 Mo Mo (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 136 Re:Manifold 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I thought it was an easy job to find a replacement. Actually someone told me their are performance manifold also, hopefully that wouldn’t help in increasing the vibration. Should i cut it short and go for stock one !!!! as I am not ready to port it yet   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #266580 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3801 Re:Manifold 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Mo Mo wrote: I thought it was an easy job to find a replacement.

Well Erb, it aint broke yet but yesterday when i checked it didnt look like its gonna last long (I have no idea how old cuz I bought the bike last year), sort of cracks yet no leakage. any idea what would be the symptoms if it leaks anyway??   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #266590 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3801 Re:Manifold 2 Years, 2 Months ago   the outside rubber is normal to show cracks as it ages, but there is metal underneath all that rubber as well. Typically symptoms of an air leak is back fire thru pipes, excessive decel popping from a slow rate of speed. change in rpm idle from light to light after it is warmed up properly, and all these symptoms could also be from not properly tuned carb   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #266624 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12504 Re:Manifold 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Smear some black RTV into the cracks and keep on riding. These manifolds crack on the surface from heat and weather like all rubber but most are just surface cracks.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #266668 Mo Mo (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 136 Re:Manifold 2 Years, 2 Months ago   i think i'd keep it running, looks like i am being very senstive to my R*, cannt denny i love it. thanks guys , thats gonna save me some bucks (to buy something else)   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #266699 rick8mitch (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 537 Re:Manifold 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I would like to recomend porting the stock one Curt did one for me .....it really made the bike run much better and starts quicker rick   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #266793 Goodygood (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 401 Re:Manifold 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I have not had to the chance to get her up and running all the way but agree on the porting. Can not wait to see all the work Curt did on my manifold pay off in a little more ponies LOL! Thanks Curt even did it when he was all bummed up from his wreck .   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/03/21 19:34 By Goodygood.   The administrator has disabled public write access.
