Unless you own the necessary tools, and know how to use them safely, you are better off to send it out. If it's an Enduro Engineering (DEP?) pipe - good luck.

If you only have one pipe it might be a good idea to send it off to be repaired.


But if you are gonna try it yourself...
A spare pipe to practice on would be highly recommended. Ask around. It doesn't have to be one off your Gasser. Just another pipe that has a dent in it. It's really isn't that hard once you have done a couple. (And learn what and what not to do...)

You don't need a lot of psi to accomplish it. But all dents are not the same.
A small touch to heat up the dent and surrounding area around the dent is a must. A dent with a crease in it is much much harder to remove than a rounded dent. Make sure your end cap will let go if you do some how over pressure things....Don't ask how I know this....

Hey it's always good to try new things...right.

I'd love to send it to www.piperepair.com but sadly for us brits there doesn't seem to be a place like this in the uk.

Shipping would be horrendous so not justified really ....I might call a local motocross/enduro shops/dealers see if theres any joy that way

thanks for the replies though

Default Pipe repair

Hi there Savage Sausage,
I'd be interested to know how you get on if you do find someone useful in the UK.
I have a dent (or two ) in mine which I would love to get removed.
If you end up trying it yourself I would also like to hear how you get on.

Good luck either way !!

Baz
