The thread title says it all. Over the time I have had this K1100 the exhaust has cracked 3 times with 3 different exhaust systems. I have one left and if it cracks I will probably burn the damn thing.
I have been told that it is the mount at the gearbox and the tightening sequence of the 8 nuts at the head.
The first system was welded about 3 times and the next twice then a staintune from a K100 was put on and discarded because it was far too rowdy for me and then the third one cracked about 4 months ago. I have one good one left and don't want that also cracking.
All info will be gratefully accepted including voodoo and witchcraft but I draw the line at using chicken entrails to find the answer.
