I have a rattle near my header ona 08 Nytro. It has 4100 miles on it. Is this the famous donuts going bad? I can seem the clamps vibrating a little from underneath. Also, can I ride sled for rest of season or will it damage it to the point of more damage?

4100 is good for a set of donuts. Time to replace.

Heck 3 of the 4 of mine were gone, i mean nothing there. the clamps were all upside down when I took the heat shield off, and I thought now how am I going to get at those. took 1 finger and rotated them up, and took them off. It did rattle for the last 1000 miles LOL

Nothing will fatigue from running them one more time? I definitely don't want to damage anything more. Is there a permanent solution or is this going to be a general maintennance item on the Nytro? Looks like it will be a fall project. One more opinion on running them the rest of the year would be appreciated.

I agree. Just wondering if their was any aftermarket fixes for the problem. Oh well. It gives me an excuse to work in the garage for the day.

Noticed the rattle the first day of a backpack trip. The last day 900 miles later and 30 miles from home sled got very loud. Ended up with one of the flexible head pipes broken. If I would have replaced the donuts when I first noticed the rattle the head pipe prabably would not have broke.
