Two Stroke Pipe Dent Removal | You Never Forget Your First Time

While racing the 2023 Cajun Classic 100 Mile Enduro, I smashed my two stroke pipe into a hell of a large stump. I bought a Two Stroke Pipe Repair Kit from eBay and went after blowing out the dents. ⚡👕 Seat Time Shirts 👕⚡bit.ly/SeatTimeShop
The kit I bought was from RJS MFG on eBay (link below). The process is simple, but it can be a bit nerve-racking. You tighten the two pieces of the kit on the two ends of your two stroke pipe. From there, you add air into the pipe. Then you begin to heat around the dents in the pipe, slowly bringing the air pressure up if needed. The gauge on the kit I bought was very helpful, as I didn't want to go above 100psi in the pipe. I was very fearful of the exhaust end flying off.
As I was watching How To videos and searching for more, I couldn't find a good 'How To Install' the two stroke pipe repair kit. So I made sure to go a bit deeper on that portion. As for the dent removal, go slower than you think you need to. There's no reason to rush this part of the dent removal. You're heating up pressurized air, it can get dangerous! As you heat up the pipe, the psi in the pipe also increases, so make sure you watch the gauge as you heat up your dents.
Do I think I could have done a better job fine-tuning some of the dents? Sure, but I really wanted to work on getting the shape of the pipe back, instead of the perfecting looking pipe. If you have advice on how to get the smaller 'sharp' dents worked out a bit more, drop your comments so we can all take that knowledge moving forward.

There is a kit which uses water instead of heated air. It’s way safer. Hydra Force.

@SeatTime Жыл бұрын

I’ve seen it, and want to give it a try. But I also had to try the more dangerous version as well!

Maybe a body hammer would work with those little dents. The pointed side is for shrinking metal. That body and metal bending is hard to master from what I've heard. Done some cold bending and have straighten a sub frame from a loop out. Its hard!

I think you're right. Maybe for the next pipe I'll get a bi more crafty. Hopefully I don't blow anything up... 💥

What sort of torch should be used please? Propane? Apparently Butane won't heat the pipe enough.

I started using MAP because it burns hotter. Good for metal on the bike and bearings, worthy of being cautious when using it in the pipe (thinner metal)!

🤘🏻🤙🏻⚡️ unfortunately I have to pull the kit out this week and get after another pipe 🤦🏻‍♂️

@didumss Ай бұрын

Hey team do you have to take the pipe off to be able to heat and pop the dents out or can you leave it on the bike while doing it? Thanks!!

@SeatTime Ай бұрын

You’ve got to take it off so you can cap off the end. Whether using water or heat, you’ll need it off the bike.

Does the blue outter line around the dent from the heat end up disappearing or does it stay there forever

@SeatTime Ай бұрын

Sometimes you'll see them fade away, but I typically see them to some degree after blowing out a massive dent.

@TheChaz81 Жыл бұрын

Damn looks cool! Was the process add heat add pressure add heat add pressure until it popped back?

@SeatTime Жыл бұрын

That was the process in the beginning. On the later on dents, I started bringing the pressure up to about 70-80, heating, and if I really needed too, adding more pressure up to 90psi. I REALLY didn't want to go over 90psi...

@TheChaz81 Жыл бұрын

@@SeatTime so boom straight to 80 and heat. Then at 10 more on the tuff ones!

@SeatTime Жыл бұрын

I don’t know that it’s that cut and dry, but maybe it’s a good place to start. The small, sharper dents were certainly tough to get out. I feel those might need a bit more love and finesse.

Heat and shrink the small sharp dents

Talk me through what that might look like.

@@SeatTime smaller sharp dent you can heat until dull red then use a cloth soaked in ice water this will shrink the metal structure. With dents you'll need to do it several times but it will help with the odd wrinkles as the metal gets stretched when it is dented. a bit of warning it can and will also move the pipe around as it shrinks one spot it can pull a bend so things don't line up. Look up heat straightening of tubing and rolls its often used on industrial machine rolls
