So I posted yesterday about new tires and strange sound and smell. Shoved the right slide slip on back on and tightened it. Today on the way home it starts sputtering and popping. Barely limped it home. What in the world could they have done changing a tire that would cause this. Waiting for it to cool down to inspect a little closer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I assume it was a back tire. They undoubtedly loosened the header to get the tire off. If you pipe was loose, I'm betting the header is loose too, and leaking air. That would cause your problem.

 

I have slip ons. Would they still need to disconnect from the headers? Guess I'll check when it gets cooler.

 

Dint read the end of the thread from yesterday but if you found the pipe loose why dont you take the bike Back???? Let them deal with the problem and issue...Personally i have never removed a pipe to get the tire off but then they are the pros...Right???
