Odd spot to break, must have heated up so badly it just made the steel brittle.

call and demand it be fixed promplty and your not waiting another 3 weeks for it because you have a race this weekend that you cannot miss and have it next day shipped. Or tell them you will just tell everyone how they do not back up there products or stand by them.

Post away all you want, I personally dont think its LRD's fault and this problem wont stop me from buying their products.

What would you do in their position?
Sure, your going to say send me my CHROME head pipe. I do think it's their stupidity for sending the 2nd pipe the wrong size. But they cant take responsibly for owners actions.

A pipe doesnt just break after 80hrs. You said yourself your running rich, and with this hot weather did you ever think that possibly it backfired and popped your head pipe? You also stated after some riding it just went pop and then it broke. Well that sounds like a backfire to me

IF IT was LRD's fault Im sure we would see many more posts on problems with their headpipes, but I dont. That tells me something important. This is one problem out of how many LRD owners out there.

Lately Ive read multiple posts of people having backfiring problems with aftermarket exhaust and jetting issues. It seems to me you got the butt of the problem.

Chino
06-29-2005, 07:58 PM
i've had numerous problems with LRD'S exhaust systems and know others have, i even have one on my bike as we speak, but i know none of my friends or I will ever buy another LRD exhaust.

06-29-2005, 08:11 PM
Well Im just comparing LRD to all other companies. I've heard of many problems, and have personally dealt with mounts breaking on my white brothers exhaust on my 400ex. White Bros didn't fix it, or anyone elses. Its just a weak spot and I dealt with it myself.

A header doesnt just decide to break after plenty of ride time, it doesnt make sense. Theres more to the story.

Maybe you can enlighten us with your problems with LRD?

You are sponsored by AC racing, yet their notorious for BFH modifcation to get their parts to work, do you still/will continue to run their product even though it's underpar to competing companies.

:huh What? Backfiring blowing apart a headpipe? OK, if you say so.......:rolleyes:
I can say Crazy Honda's YFZ was running very well, and would highly doubt that was the cause..........I've seen other YFZ's backfire so hard that they shoot 8 inch flames out the silencer and never saw them blow headpipes.........Kind of tough to do when there is a straight through hole all the way out the back.

All I'm saying is, don't go casting doubt unless you got proof to back it up. I do think that LRD should step up to the plate in a big way here. They admitted to him that this was one of many failures of headpipes, and did replace it, so they must see where they are at fault.
BUT, they should have replaced it with something similar in appearance, OR throw him a little something extra to make it right with him. READ: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. And most of all, in a case like this where you are trying to retain a customer........Make sure it darn well fits! For LRD being such a big fish in the sea, I am completely amazed at what he is going through in the middle of race season. This is totally rediculus!

C'mon LRD, let's see some professionalism in taking care of your PAYING customers. Bill Balance gets better service and he don't pay!:macho

I'm sorry mabey you don't get it when I bought the pipe I paid more for the chrome they told me that the chrome was giving them problems thats fine but remember I paid more for this option why because it looks good.I when I talked to them on the phone in the first place they never told me they didn't chrome chit anymore they sent me a pipe that wasn't chrome so i called to ask thats when they told me about the problem.again I never asked for chrome but I did ask to replace the can because it does not match. remember why I bought chrome in the first place?because it looked good .and remember I paid more for this option what did I ask for a can to match why because a bare head pipe and a chrome can looks like chit ,ghetto ,junk do you really think I'm asking for much buy trying to get a can that matches ?I should be a dick and tell them if they don't make the chrome than I want the 150 bucks extra it cost for the chrome system refunded and the bare can.remember they said the chrome was the problem not me!

Hello,
Your return slip is on the way, I will be able to give you a tracking number and date of arrival Friday.
Again we are sorry about the possible problems with the fit of the new head pipe we sent , After we check the issue
and resolve it I will send it back via next day shipping to you.
Again I am unable to send you a chrome head pipe as we no longer produce that pipe , The new one is stainless steel
not a raw un-finished pipe. If you would like to purchase a new tail pipe and muffler, we can offer you a discount of
30% on those items.

P.S. stainless steel without a coating is still raw steel no mater how you look at it.Do you know when you wield stainless the integrity of the pipe is compromised? It will rust at the wield with out a coating of some kind.I am a machinist I have studied metallurgy its not rocket science

As I said before, I agree LRD is in the wrong for sending you a header which does not fit. I too would be quite upset. As for the chroming, I can understand where your coming from. You paid for the chrome, so you should recieve that or be redeemed.

However I guess it would be LRD's decision on whether or not to send you one in the first place. I just dont see how its possible after more then 80hrs the header just decides to break. These things just dont happen.

I just think if it was LRD's metal flaw, you would think it would happen in the earlier stages when the pipe is first heated at high temperatures. Under the first 10 hours maybe, not 80.

Crazy Honda
06-30-2005, 08:17 PM
Yea I understand your point the thing is the chrome holds in the heat each time you ride it it will get weaker and weaker until it eventually breaks. From what lrd has told me im not the only person this happened to hints why they dont do chrome anymore. The only difference in the pipe I have got from them besides it does not fit is no chrome it it the same steel brass brazed ready for chrome just no chrome. If I would have took the one I had that broke sanded off the chrome and wielded it I would have the same thing they sent me. Except it would fit. I figure the new ones will eventually break at the mounting tabs for the heat shield. Maybe someone can look at there pipe it does not have to be lrd but any with mounting tabs for the heat shield let me know if any are cracked.like in the pic. Maybe thats why some pipes do not have the heat sheild mounting points?

Well , the situation sucks all the way as far as I am concerned. If this is the type of customer support , on defective products sold openly on the market , I am glad there are MANY other companies making competitive products , that WILL hold up!

I am sorry to hear of your purchasing a lemmon. I would have thought that LRD , after all these years in the quad business would know how to treat a customer , but instead it would appear that they want to loose throngs of customers and potential customers.

I am also glad that you posted the information and pictures on here , I now know who to keep off my shopping list!

:huh 30%? That's real nice............

What's those comments about 3" of subframe flex?

I'd ask them if they will make you a new headpipe that fits and ceramic coat it silver to approximate the same finish as the can, because you were concerned about the appearance enough to buy chrome to begin with. If they will, all problems are solved.

It sounds like they have ceramic coating available to them from the post that you linked to.

IF not, get one sent out that fits, and sell it off to get another non LRD system.:macho

Sucks to hear your having this much of a problem with them. Makes me dissapointed when I know that they have the ability to be an awesome aftermarket company. Especially when the have TOP riders riding for them. I must say their engines just absolutely rip, havent had any irregular problems with my R motor.

I'm starting to believe anywhere you go your going to have problems at somepoint. Only place that I can safely say has the best customer service which I have dealt with is Elka and Quadpro. I got a Hinson clutch basket in 2days from quadpro, none of this 4-6week waiting crap. By coincidence both are Canadian companies.

Too bad KTM doesn't sell quads, maybe they should open their eyes to the new up and coming markets.

A little bit off topic here, but KTM is currently hiring a staff of designers/engineers experienced in quad design. The KTM Race quad is coming soon. Also they're introducing a new 4 stroke motor design in 2006 for the bike lineup, that should be the proving grounds for the quad as well.
Maybe a 450 and a 525 race quad in orange?:macho Maybe a 300cc two stroke closed course version as well?:cool:

They're motors do rip! LTandRaptorider got the LRD LT250r motor and I rode that......It makes VERY strong power all through the powerband. Night and day difference in performance. I questioned why he went with such expensive suspension, until the motor was done. With the LRD motor you need the suspension to handle the speed.:eek: :cool:

My grammar was much better in e-mail comunications with them too, that may have helped... :blah: Son, I always told you to sit up and pay attention in school... but nooo... you were too busy playing pocket pool... :eek:

Anyways, yes I initially had some problems with them. I spoke with a guy named Jason, no idea if he's still there. He took care of things, which wasn't anything major. However, since I was spending over $1,500 on engine mods, I wasn't getting quite the service I thought I should be. It was handled, I will go to them again, they did an awesome job on my cylinder! I see your point in this problem, and theirs. Yes, you paid for a chrome system, which they find out later has problems. Your head pipe failed, and they are replacing it. Albeit with one that didn't fit though! So once again, they are sending another one out, hopefully this one will fit. As far as the your can being chromed and not matching their new pipe... again I would be mad, not sure I'd expect them to replace it too though. Yes, they probably should. Yes, they should have done a little more R&D on their chromed pipes... Did you inquire of them whether they would/could ceramic coat the new head pipe? And to the other guy who said he never heard of a problem developing over time... Have you ever heard of metal fatigue? An initial problem can worsen over time as it's exposed to heat and stress... So no, I am not surprised to hear the pipe cracked over time. Anyway, get that thing fixed Clyde, I wanna woop that YFZ on the flat track! Probably all I'll run this year, since things still seem to be mending...

To LRD... git r DONE!!!

ok... but did you call them veiner, instead of VERNIER, or dial calipers? Maybe they are looking for veiner to try and figure out what you are saying, that's why you haven't heard back from them... :confused:

Yep! Rode it again today.............It hauls! :eek2: LRD does excellent work!

Crazy Honda, maybe you should bargain with LRD for a price cut on some motor work so you can run with the LT250r........;)
