I was doing some maintenance and follow-up cleaning on my wee today when I noticed the rust forming around the clamp that joins the exhaust to the front pipes (see diagram).
I gave it a clean and as I was doing so it came apart in my hand - the rust had eaten through the part that faces down and onto the road.
Now, the worrying thing is that I can see no evidence that this is a simple clamp that can be replaced. Instead it looks like it is (was) welded to the pipe assembly - is this right?
I can get an exhaust clamp or a wide jubilee clip and replace it with that if needs be, but does Suzuki really expect you to replace an otherwise perfectly good exhaust if this clamp breaks?
