Minor exhaust leak

[Fastfrog007]

Ive got a small exhaust leak at the flange, Its quite small, can barely feel it, but its there. Is it okay to ride with this goin on? Ive got new exhaust gaskets and was goin to install them today, got a ways into it a realized i dont have the patience to do it, Ill try and get it into a shop this week. Can i ride today without hurting anything? Im not sure when it started, so i may have been riding on it already. Thanks guys

Air leaks in the exhaust can cause backfires,if the leak is to big,,and cold back preeure can go back onto the valves,,,,,,,,,,small leak,,,,,I dont want to say,,if your not haveing problems,,well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,either way,,Fix it soon,,

Turns out, its a pin hole in the header itself, didnt notice until I got frustrated and started puttin her back together for a trip to the shop. Goin to a shop now for sure, put a spot of weld on the hole. Will be lookin for a used AH system soon
