Just noticed I'm missing the nut on my #4 exhaust flange upon starting the bike this morning. Can't imagine it's been off long, as I woulda noticed that loud tapping noise. If she did run for any amount of time in that state, could any damage have been caused? Burned exhaust valve?
Missing #4 Header Flange Nut- Any harm done?

I'm sure it's fine. If it's quiet with a new nut on there, you'll be good to go. I lost a nut on mine and it made a lot of racket straight away.Marty (in Mississippi)
