Muffler fell off

Trust issues, it’s why so many of us will not go to a dealer, these bikes are good, everything has to be done correctly or they will expose the person that did the work. Very small tolerances and must be right, everything

of coarse none of us has ever left a bolt loose.

Unfortunately I am guilty and the bike tells on me quickly wife says, I thought you fixed it, thinking real fast I say oh I’m just checking my work

I’m just looking to see if it’s common to remove the muffler for tire replacement , There is the chance the tech forgot to bolt the muffler back on after sliding the end on the catalytic box. Luckily no injuries to me except in the wallet !

I always remove muffler prior to a reat tire change - now at 11 rear tires and counting . . .

I put a different system on and it was no longer a problem. I put different tyres on and it was no longer a problem less often.

I don’t take the muffler off, I torque the axle from the side. Haven’t had an issue in 15yrs.

Because of occassional can dragging, I had the stainless tube between the collector & can modified to tuck the can up and inboard to the rear axle nut.
Solved the clearance issue, but now the can needs to be removed to access the axle nut.

I've been told I have a screw loose. Prolly how I lost my marbles.
