Vulcan 800 Classic exhaust clicking

joethemacguy · 09-06-2008

I have an 2000 vulcan classic 800. Recently I noticed a clicking, very loud, coming from the right side of the engine. It happens when the engine warms up and when I accelerate and maintain speed. I thought it was an engine problem, but noticed that when it happens, I step on the front pipe and it goes away. I have tightened all mounting bolts and heat shield brackets and it is still there. Has anyone heard of this? It is really annoying and before I drop $400.0 on a set of V&H's, I wanted to see if it was something that could be fixed. $$ is tight and I would like to see if it can be fixed. Thanks for your help.

Joe
