I've changed the motorcycle exhaust hose a few times, and the key lies in safety and tool preparation. First, let the engine cool for at least half an hour, otherwise the exhaust pipe can be extremely hot and easily cause burns. Prepare a wrench or socket tool, locate the clamp at the hose connection, and carefully loosen it. When removing the old hose, check the connection area for rust or damage; if it's too bad, you might need to clean or sand it. Before installing the new hose, ensure the size matches, don't force it into place, align the clamp and gently tighten it, but don't over-tighten or it might crack. Finally, start the engine to test for any air leakage sounds; if there are any, readjust. It's best to choose high-temperature-resistant hose materials, like silicone, which can last longer. Pay attention to abnormal vibrations while riding to catch issues early and avoid bigger troubles.
