Looking at my bike a few days ago, I noticed that the front downpipe appears to have a different profile (1 more bend) than most others ive seen, as I bought the bike second hand I do not know if it has been changed or what type it is.. it may even be stock.
Does anyone recognise it? If so could you let me know what it is and also if I could still fit a bellypan as it seems that the pipe is lower down than others!
Cheers

Doesn't look stock to me. It would have to be cut and have a link pipe to fit that can you have. Looks like an aftermarket system.

Yeah it doesn't look like there are any cuts in it anywhere, I've also noticed that the stock pipe joins the link pipe much closer to the front than mine.. I just need to find out what it is now...

Cool, well maybe not so cool as that makes me wonder what other modifications were done that I don't know about... after looking they do look like micron headers but I have a scorpion road legal can??? lol how would this affect the jetting etc, the bike rides well enough but I came from a bros 400 so I have nothing to compare to.
i dont know why, but i think its a micron?
looks just like my Micron header pipe:cool:

OK im pretty sure from what you guys are saying that its a Micron system, with a scorpion can, my exhaust has E markings and when i look inside the end I can see it looks like there is a baffle in there, it doesnt look like the removable ones though, its about 2 inches into the exhaust and doesnt seem to be doing a lot as it sounds crazy loud... Im just hoping that the guy adjusted the needles etc to compensate for this, theres not much way of telling.

high level can and def not stock pipes.
re other adjustments
The bike looks very well looked after, so I'd be surprised if compensating changes hadn't been made.
Did the seller seems a conciencious person who loved his/her bike?
If so, don't worry about it.
Get things looked at when you get it serviced to put your mind at rest, but if it aint broke......

Would they check that sort of thing during a service? The bike has been very well looked after, the previous owner poured money into it (the exhaust system, hagon shock and ohlins progressive springs amongst other things) so i'm sure he was pretty clued up about this sort of thing, im guessing it has been adjusted correctly... even if it hasn't it's too fast for me anyway so im going to leave it. Thanks everyone for the advice and identifying my mystery headers lol

If you are worried, stick it on a Dyno and check the A/F ratio with the snifferthingywotsit. My guess is if it's got a standard/standard replacement, it'll be fine. Dynno run to check A/F is about £30 or so ?(been ages since I went to one).
You could also have a look at the Micron site and see what they say regards rejetting with regards to their fuul system.
