Which exhaust? Pointy.

I'm looking at getting a new system for my 09 plate 650, what makes and designs do you guys prefer, and where is good for a system new?

[jambo]

What do you want from it?

A full M4 system with race filter and remap saves weight and makes good power. It is, however, expensive overkill for 90 something percent of us who just want an end can for looks and a slightly nicer sound.

I've just found this deal on a Yoshimura Stainless Steel end-can if anyone's interested? Reduced from £450 to £399.

Well after my crash and realising my quill t3 slip on is leaking I was briefly looking on eBay for a replacement and found the following!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-SV650S-98-03-SS70-Oval-225mm-Stainless-Steel-Silencer-Exhaust-Kit-/270955969481

Seems a great deal, what your thoughts or have you got any feedbacks on them?

[AndyEames]

Try looking at fuel exhausts. Relatively cheap and great quality! Iv got a brushed stainless mini on mine, road legal aswell (if the baffles were in!) but sounds great! I wouldnt spend too much as they all sound similar!

[Sweetthy]

Yes I looked at the fuel after I realised that the one I linked isn't road legal as it is.

So I look at the fuel and I really like the micromini!!! And for the price is fit the bill perfectly, however if and when I move back to France I wanted to check that it would be road legal over there as well and it isn't.

So was searching for a stubby exhaust with the CE approved marked and cannot find one around the same price! So if you have the answer I would love to be told.

[Corny Gizmo]

also we have a 10% off deal for fuel, its a sticky somewhere

[Sweetthy]

Well after a bit of research I came across the mivv ( http://www.motorcycle-exhausts.co.uk/MiVV_Oval_Inox_SUZUKI_SV_650S_2003--product--2638.html#.U7VgteFwZPF )

Would prefer the fuel micromini but the mivv is CE homologated

Any thoughts?

[Sweetthy]

Right,

Found a small affordable slip on, the storm MIVV - any thoughts or review??

M4 is the one of the best you can get most of us minitwins run m4 systems

If I am wrong I'm very welcome to being told otherwise, but I think exhausts which aren't road legal is a bit of a grey area.
I think most manufactures if not all will say any exhaust with baffles removed won't be road legal - but then a lot of people
do remove baffles and don't get done for it. I gather plod will do you for it if they're really after any excuse, which I reckon
would only come about if you were riding like an idiot. If it can get past an MOT with just a 'noisy' comment, you should be fine!

I'm saying all this because I've just removed my lower plug out of my dual port blueflame exhaust, not too much louder but
so much deeper, sounds so nice. So probably not strictly road legal.. well the top port has a baffle in.. so - not too bad right?
:cool:

There is a difference between mot passable and road legal...

Not 100% but as long as it doesn't say not for road use it's legal but not necessarily mot worthy.

I just swapped my micro mini fuel for a dan moto gp can, road legal but not mot worthy.

Conversely my mate has a micron race can on his gixer, passes mot but it not road legal thanks to the aforementioned stamp.

You can prob get away with a non mot worthy can as the pass is essentially discretion and as long as you aren't a k**b to the copper prob get away with it. But if it's not legal you are stuffed.

Personally I prefer having 2 legal cans, one that will go on for an afternoon every 12 months to get through mot and one that will make ears bleed for the other 11.99 months :-)

[PyroUK]

Plus sweethy has the issue of being legal in France which probably has different rules such as the ce mark etc

[Sweetthy]

Yes, fuel per example are not CE homologated but are uk homologated. But the issue is no longer, the bike (after the accident was beyond repair for the insurance)

Was actually collected this morning, really hard to see your pride and joy being loaded on a truck full of scrapped car.....

Now will have to wait for the claim to be settled and to feel better to look for the next ride!

[PyroUK]

Gutted mate, it does suck.

Hope you grabbed any undeclared or rather unvalued shiny bits off it first!

When you get round to finding an alternative, have you considered getting a can in France?

[Sweetthy]

Yeah did took few bits, will certainly post the few parts when settle (in mean time feel free to pm me for a list)

For my next ride, I am looking at 600 hornet, or 750 gsr. But not really sure, will have to test ride. Like the triumph a lot but it is expensive and I understand it is very uncomfortable for a pillion - and it is a criteria the wife is pushing for!!
