1982 FT500 hesitates while going 20-40 MPH

<< < (2/2)

triguyracer:
The rattling might be the inner pipe that's inside the head pipe that might have come loose 

hednik4am:
Would the part be on here ?

triguyracer:
Yes there is another peace of the front head pipe that is welded inside the head pipe that is not shown in the the parts picture, you have to remove the the head pipe and look in it to see if it is loose or shake the pipe and see if you can hear it rattle

hednik4am:
I got the header of and your assumption was correct. I banged on it a bit and could hear some rattling. Once it was completely off I could feel the inner pipe was loose. Now to the fix it part. Do I need to get this welded...Is that possible? Are there other options? I've search and not much anywhere about this. Even on other bikes. Thanks for your help on this triguyracer.

Just about every answer to your questions can be found in the top section of this board.

When the inner tubing comes loose, they can often be repaired by drilling holes along the backside of the outer tubing & then welding the two together through the holes.
