this would be totally self serving but here goes.

6.2.6 Miscellaneous Motorcycle Requirements
B. All exhaust retaining springs safety wired.

i would like to propose we do away with this rule or make it voluntary. i know on at least my 250, there is no way to actually secure the spring to the bike. all i can do is wire the pipe to the manifold. i have seen a few aftermarket pipes for the 4 strokes that have the same type of spring. i realize it is an attempt to keep debris off the track, which i am in favor of, but it seems in some cases the springs won't allow it. at a minimum, it is one less thing for ray to get stabbed from checking :lol:
