Exhaust Noise.... From track area...

[x2thez]

Last night after I started up my sled I heard a strange exhaust kinda noise, but it didnt sound good it sounded like somethign was loose.. It was not coming from the clutch it was infact coming from the track area, moreso from the exhaust under there. Any ideas on what it could be?

Kinda sounds like exhaust donuts, read this: http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=51683

Thats what I thought it was, how bad are these to replace or should I have the dealer do it?

Depends on how good you are with a wrench. The link that I posted above has a step by step instructions on how to change them out. The intructions are for the Apex but I would think that the RS chassy would be similar. Make sure you can purchase the donuts before you tear it down because I think I heard they are hard to get or maybe on backorder. Don't let this go for to long though.
