    Just received a new FMF Fatty for my CR125. The pipe has a dent in the mid section opposite the mounting bracket and two small dents along the weld seam above the head area. Do I have a quality control issue or is this a clearance area? Haven't taken delivery of the bike yet so I can't determine it on my own! Want to get it returned quickly if it's not normal. Thanks.

    Looks like shipping damage to me. Shouldn't be there.

    If the box was not damaged then the QC department missed this one....:eek:

    The FMF pipe on my 09 cr125 does not have that dent.

    I've got another gripe with FMF's turbine core II silencers as 2 of them have rattled apart on me. One on my Husky 125 and another for a yz250.
    The rivets that hold on the end cap loosen up, then the vibration breaks the thin metal tabs that hold the elbow piece in place. Then the elbow drops down and block the exhaust path. If they'd use button head screws (which can be tightened) instead of rivets I think this would solve the issue.
