Hi all, I'm cleaning, tuning, painting and riding my "new" 102. Trying to remove the exhaust pipes to replace and maybe do an upright exhaust.....
They do not budge with a large pipe wrench... any tricks to remove and what to use to clean up the threads
 
The old adage may apply here....
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If I ain't leaking , best to leave it alone or risk breaking something trying to remove it.
Heat will be your best friend in that operation however.
 
When I work on something that won't come apart because of rust, exhaust bolts and such, I take a small hammer, 6-8 oz. and tap on it lightly. Your just setting up a vibration through the part to cause the rust to break free. On an exhaust bolt I will tap it maybe 300 times, just tap. think vibration.
