    Header pipe broke

    Head pipe broke again what is the permanent fix. I welded it back. But it is just a temporary fix I know. Click image for larger version.

    My problem with that is my nearest Yamaha dealer is a hour away. And they’ll won’t me to bring my wolvy in for them to change pipe and I can do it myself in 15 mins. Plus this is the 2nd time it has broke. I think a replacement will do the same thing. Hell I don’t even ride that hard just logging roads. And a few trails.

    Been reading on the ais block off plate. Maybe if I install one and put on new head pipe it will run cooler. And fix problem.

    I was wondering if this failure has anything to do with running through water while pipe is hot? Any part of your riding? Other than that motor mounts excessively loose?

    I do cross some water. But it is what I consider trail mud. Nothing deep. I will check motor mounts good call.

    Does anyone know if the replacement pipe is the same as the original? If so, how many times will they replace it till they say 'enough'?
    Is it a heavier gauge or does it have a thicker collar on it at the flange? Does Yamaha do anything other than replace the pipe, like motor mounts?

    That is the part that bothers me. The first time it broke on the inside of flange. I weld it and it held for 3 months. Now it broke completely off. This time I welded the entire outside of flange. Time will tell.

    So I suppose minimize the vibrations and that helps eliminate the metal fatigue.
