Hey all,
Picked up my JP from the dealer earlier today for the 500mi First check up. Took it out for a ride and on the way back starting noticing a funny noise and harsh idle. Thinking exhaust leak was my likely culprit, did a quick visual when i got home and noticed the Front exhaust appeared to be loose from the head. After letting it cool and throwing a wrench on, it would seem as though its tight... Neither the nut or stud wanting to turn. So the question, as i don't particularly remember from before today, is this normal to be a space between exhaust and motor?
EDIT: Space between 'exhaust side mounting plate' and motor
As seen from both sides:

Anyone? Would it harm it to ride the couple of miles to the dealer? Probably 10-15 min away city driving..
