Short term prob ok, but fix it for sure, you can burn your port, and create hot spot etc...repair as soon as you are able. Best of luck!
its a 5 min ride. I will fix it tomorrow after work. thanks man. i was worried. What is a burned out port, or a hot spot?
hot spot = to much heat to one area causing it to get weak....
I had a friend ride his jawa with no exhaust whatsoever, it fried the exhaust port, all carboned up etc, a hot spot is where some exhaust gas escapes rather than being sucked into the pipe, it raises the temp around the area of the leak, can cause damage/ carbon build up etc all in all not a good thing. Use a new crush gasket if your bike has them when you reseat the exhaust to the jugg. Best of luck!

damn... this blows... Oh well, i'll fix it tomorrow. I hate going to sleep knowing somthing is wrong with my ped. I can just match the bolt up at te hardware store right?
And is there somthing I can make the gasket out of, there wasn't one on it.
not all peds have one, download your service man from mra website, it will tell you weather or not there is a crush gasket in your exhaust.
on it. I found it before, but never dl'ed it. Prolly smart to do that, lol.
Thes machines of ours are more complex than they look, it is wise to keep them in stock trim and use all parts that they came with, they were there for a reason. best of luck to you!
