Where did you get the new pads, Hawk?
I need a new center pad for a Shoei…

Guessing Shoei’s website?

I got mine from Revzilla. I'm sure most any site that sells Shoei helmets will also sell the replacement pads? The Revzilla site did a good job with explaining the various options in pad thickness you can get as you are able to buy thicker or thinner replacement pads if desired.

Helmet smells a lot better, too!

Knew it works, good to see, most parts there on your muffler system are generic. Just look around to avoid OEM pharmacy prices.

.This a spot where a technician puts a sensor/ feeler gauge to check your NOX values.

In your case there were a "blind" plug, which you most probably lost.

Then go for an inox imbus/headbolt in that size.

Pls see.pic,
 -take RH bolt out (the one which holds heatshield)
- try in the middle to plug this hole
- go to a shop
- buy smtg similar
-put an alu washer or two under this plug
Don't worry, nothing bad happens

Thanks 👍
I went to mechanic guy at work who gave an shorts M6 Bolt wita a Cooper washer, seems to work fine 😊
But now i see that my old bike needs new screws and Rubber around all exhaust system 🙃

While I am waaay overdue for a new helmet (10 years old...) I thought I'd at least replace the worn out helmet pads with new ones for my Shoei R-1200.

I hadn't realized how much looser the helmet had become over the years. With the new pads it fits like it did when it was new (back in a previous decade..)

I also gave it a good cleaning on the exterior to remove the dead bugs, etc.  I probably should have also replaced the chin curtain as that is looking a little rough. Now I need the outside temps to lower a bit so I can get back on the bikes.

Welcome here!
Lot of things done.
In LIKEs case you cannot built on fault-codes, they indicate only a certain bigger area, not a specific culprit.

There is a wide/big connector on the ECUs side.
-take it off tenderly
-check ALL pins whether they are straight
-flush with WD40 or similar
-reconnect carefully

Battery area:
-check for corrosion
-off all cables inclusive fuses
-renew fuses

Regulator/rectifier:
-does it charge the battery properly, 14.5VDC

Ignition coil, cable plug, sparkplug:
- all out again
- replug eyerything from beginning
- NEW sparkplug!

O2 sensor:
- all four cables intact, not bent
- connector ( both parts) in good shape

Fuel pump:
- is there a mesh filter directely on the pumps lower end?
- pump produces enough pressure (3bar~)?
- pump.is tested?

Throttle body:
-if the YELLOW sealed screw was removed you will need most probably a new assy
-throttle cable slack a few mm?

Air intake:
-airintake hose (which leads to airfilter) completely off for now.
(if not messed with, TPS regulates itself)

Muffler: not clogged by rodents?
Good luck

Stig, those are coated rotors, the coating wore off where the pads contact the rotor during the first use. Helps with slowing down the rust. Pedal feels the same but the dang clunking is finally gone!! Frustrating to have a noise that is abnormal and not be able to find the cause. Didn't clunk over big bumps, just over little ones and expansion joints in the road.

I was a whole lot sorer than I had anticipated...my back was screaming at me.

Also funny how on cars for most of my life the front brakes wore out much faster than the rears...but on many newer cars the rears will wear out first. I don't ever anticipate replacing my front brakes on the Caravan...they'll probably outlast me.

Can you "FEEL" pressure from this hole?
I wonder if that is a place to fasten a testing device?
If you can feel that the exhaust is open here, please see your dealer for the missing screw.

Stig
Oh yes Stig, i feel pressure and fumes are coming out of there
