[cuznjohn]

SORRY

OK we got the panels off and disconnected the o2 sensor...thread are shiny and smooth on one side the other threads look OK....stick finger down in hole of pipe...one side smooth and other feel threads....actually got the sensor in the pipe tighten and it pulls right out....Mark is on his way here to rescue me with truck and trailer....what will mess up next?

sorry your ride got interrupted, well i guess it could of been worse,

Also, depending on your creativity and need to make it work you could also wire the sensor secure to the pipe to hold it in place. This would at least get you home.

Sorry your ride got interrupted. I think PeggyO had some issues too.

Sounds like a second ride is in order later! :doorag:

You really have to wonder how this happened, unless it was cross threaded when first installed! I hope this isn't the leading edge of another 2013 issue!

We would have heard about it by now, if this was endemic to the model year... :shocked:
Since it was stripped, and you guys never had it out before; I'd guess that this was a "Ham-Fister", at the factory... :gaah:
Warranty time again!

Better not be!

She recently had it in the shop too so the tech may have removed it and screwed up putting it back in. I'd bet on that more than the factory. I think a liberal application of SEMTEX would take care of all the issues on that Spyder.

Sorry to hear that Mark is on his way out there. I know EXACTLY how you feel.

If memory serves, she is on a '13 ST-L...

 

[Bob Denman]

Yup!
Why not some JB "Weldstuff" :dontknow: We patched the bottom-end of a Kawasaki ATV with that stuff once... :thumbup:

Ive never had luck using JB directly on exhaust parts.
