Exhaust Studs

(1/3) > >>

Johnnyboy750:
I’m new to all things CB so hopefully this ain’t deemed a stupid question?

I have a 750 K6 which has a loose exhaust stud on one of the cylinders. My question for anyone with any experience of this is, is helicoil suitable repair and if so can it be done in situ?? Also if when I get bike in bits more than one thread needs sorting can any or all of the eight be repaired with the head in place? Also any tips on threading or stud replacement??

Many thanks in advance for any replys.

John.

If you have a K6, then it should not have studs  ;) Should look like this with the std pipes off.

Bryanj:
Some threads can be repaired "in situ" others the frame gets in the way.

Johnnyboy750:
Sorry my mistake shouldn't have said studs as its same as the pic.

Very tricky to do these with the engine in the frame as Bryan has already stated but, it can be done. I have done this before in the frame but, not all of them. I used a old exhaust flange drilled out as a guide, then a long drill and a extension on the tap. You will have to use a helicoil as there is not enough meat for a insurt or it is getting close.

If any of the exhaust flange screws snap while trying to remove, then these are a bugger to drill out.

The problem is that you can't just pop the head off a 750 while in the frame, unless it has a frame kit fitted.
