Premium Member ericpev Posted March 24, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted March 24, 2015 **Update** In case you don't end up reading my later post, it ended up just being some bond or silicone that I was able to remove with a little rubbing alcohol. Big ups to Yoshimura for great customer service and a great sounding pipe! I must have the worst luck with exhausts. Returned an Ixil due to scrapes and opted for a yoshi. Yoshi just came in, got the bike apart and was ready to install but found THIS. What do you guys think? Honestly debating just keeping it at this point. What would you do? Keeping in mind that these are on back order until May so Im not sure id get a replacement right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantheraleo Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Return it. You paid for a new one. Mine came encased in foam, so I don't see how this could have happened during shipment.... O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause...till it come back to me.

Global Moderator Guru Posted March 24, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yes, definitely return it or you are going to regret it. It is only some time you are loosing but the damage will be an eye sore as long as you have the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaipuak Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 When in the mounted position, how easy is it to see? IF it as glaring I would return it, if it wasn't I would ask for a discount and spend that on more mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutted Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Return it. Especially if those marks go deep enough that it could start to de-laminate down the road.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberbandman72 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Looks like the "marks" are just adhesive used in the production process that should have gotten cleaned off but probably went unnoticed. Not structurally compromised. I'd install it as long as it is not visible once installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkH Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Looks like the silicone they use on either side of the muffler. It should rub off with some alcohol. You send it away to have a repack, chances are you'll see a bunch of that on your muffler when you get it back. I visit here at least once a week. Got any questions, ask and I will answer!

Premium Member ericpev Posted March 25, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks to all those that responded. For those that suggested it was just glue, a HUGE THANK YOU!!! Sure enough it came off with a little alcohol and elbow grease. I'm ecstatic! Yoshimura was great when I called them up about the issue before I knew it was fixable. They were going to take care of it right away. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
