I stopped into the dealer today with my exhaust pipe in hand and explained the situation to them. They really didn't have any clue what to do. The woman behind the counter popped up the on-line parts diagram and looked for any service bulletins, but of course their aren't any. She suggested maybe they could weld it, but the owner quickly walked by and chimed in with "No.. we can't weld that... Don't have the right welder" (guy's a real Richard Cranium BTW). I suggested notching the pipe and clamping it onto the muffler. She nodded and walked back to talk to the mechanic and he agreed that's the best option. Thing is, I'd have to remove the muffler, take it in and leave it with them for a few days. Heck with that. I'll fix it myself as I normally do. Have I told you how much I really don't like dealerships? They had very little interest in making this right for me. This is a high volume, high sales place on top of that. I noticed the "Tank" series ZTR they had on the floor had the same exhaust system as my Z-Force and the tailpipe on the Tank flopped like a wet noodle just like mine. Unreal.
