Help with my WileyCo...

[autocrossjake]

Well getting the bike ready for the season and removed the rear wheel to get a new tire put on it this week.  But I noticed this over the summer/fall but it seems like my Wileyco is leaking in the two areas circled in yellow (the WileyCo plate isn't that dirty just the pic).  You can feel/hear air coming out and occasionally it will start to get some carbon build up on it after a few hundred miles.  Is there anyway this can be fixed or do I have to get a new can? 

I realized they are not that much on ebay but would rather not spend the money on another one.  If I would need to get another one do they all use the same flange?

Oh yeah don't mind the blown out car tire under the swingarm, my brother threw that under there for "safety" since he thought it could lean back... but it is way to solid to do that..  And the bike is dirtier than crap but that will change next week when I pick it up from his place.



Thanks a lot for any help.. hoping to make a few updates this spring/summer with some new mods and pics..

You should be able to drill out the rivets, apply some high temp silicone to the end caps and then reinstall them.

If rivets are leaking ... I'd ignore it. if its leaking between flange and can, try using a gasket or high temp silicone. If it clogs up with carbon and stops leaking, that's good too.
Cool.

but only if it's bothering you. shouldn't hurt anything.

ride it and wipe it down when it gets dirty
not a concern...
