My uly exhaust is making a weird loud clicking sound after I turn the bike off and the fan stops running. I can hear it a good distance away when it happens. Anyone experience this before? Any resolve to the issue? It almost sounds like the valve is slamming shut.

It is the exhaust valve in the muffler. Once it opens it will hang up until the muffler cools then slam shut with a loud clunk. So much for interactive exhaust, It appears that the valve may have more to do with regulation of noise than exhaust back pressure. It worked!

no fix'n except for changing I guess.
Any thoughts on the drummer exhaust? I'm considering the one they can reinforce.
