If you rode it for a long time without the pipe sealing properly, I would suggest that you check out the piston for detonation damage, as 2 strokes do not like leaks anywhere in the system, they cause a lean condition.

I probably rode it for about 10 minutes like that

Pull the pipe and look up the exhaust port for signs of piston damage.

yeah i'm going to, i stopped and let it cool every 2 minutes probably, exhaust has to come off anyway

Unfortunately detonation is not cured by cooling the engine, it just keeps on hot, or cold.

Hopefully it was not running so lean as to do any damage to the piston/rings.

the piston looks fine, i looked at it through the exhaust and intake ports and it looks like it wasnt damaged,
i replaced both the exhaust studs and funny enough it passed a leak test with a broken jug stud, but dont worry im replacing it too just to be safe

You may be one lucky guy if no damage is apparent.

Cudos for checking the piston out.

ill know for sure when i pull the cylinder back off Thursday night, thats when my new gaskets come (none of the paper crap, never in my engine) ill update with pics, its only been on there 3 weeks and was spotless when i put it back on

piston looked good, I pulled the top end off, replaced the stud leak tested 7 psi for
15 minutes

I'm sick and tired of this bullshit. I go to put my Dynoport on and I find out that my exhaust stud hole is stripped. stupid piece of sh*t.

Looks like you need a Helicoil!

Hell, I probably need more than that. I think every inch of that quad just saw The back of boot. I'm very ashamed that I went off on it like that because that's just not me, but a Man can only take so much

Hang in there , we all have bad days.

If it makes you feel any better, since my stroke I have been very outspoken, I am having trouble dealing with the change.

Pre stroke I had a placid temperament, but only the other day i threatened to flatten a bloke, was a poor choice, he was half my age and twice as big.

I am too old and frail to be doing that sort of thing

it was 2 and a half years a frustration at this thing, it was about time. and i was looking around the shop and found some helicoils that are the appropriate size.

Sounds like you with your blaster and I with this R are going through about the same level of stress.

If this R was mine, I'd have set fire to it.
