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?

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)
