ok. makes sense to hold onto the old exhuast anyway in case I sell it.

So if I'm going to fit it myself, am I right in thinking it's a case of taking of the lowers, then undoing the single allen key bolt next to the rear shock, and the two allen key bolts at the front pipe? will there be washers underneath that nee replacing? (bike is 1yr old) will I need exhaust paste? or is it a case of bolt off, bolt on?

Thanks for all your help and advice chaps. invaluable site this and a friendly bunch to boot!

Update -

Just found a guy round the corner on Goodge Street who is oding it now for me. Pick it up at 6pm. Woohoo!!

Thanks for all your info and help chaps.

Sid Squid - thanks for the offer of help mate! A sign of the type of people on this site when complete strangers are willing to help give up time and help other bikers. nice one mate.

Top banana! I'd have got the trioval hi-lvel ti system if I could afford it...

thought about getting that but was worried about the missus's feet on the back :shock:

got the tri oval titanium system. Just took it up to the garage in a rucksack on my back....that thing is goddam light :twisted:

Did you try bringing home the stock exhaust system in your rucksack? :shock: :wink:

Where did you manage to get a Yoshi pipe from Im trying to get just a slip on for my K3 but I keep getting US prices. Would like a full system but I imagine its a bit rich for my blood?

:) now that thing wouldnt have been light, well did ya?

It was a finders fee from my boss for getting someone in to work with us. He got it from a guy at Two Wheels mag, apparently it was special order from japan....

I've got the details of the Uk Distribution centre it came from if that's any help?

Phoenix Distribution, Newcastle
01782 569 800

err.... original exhaust still sitting in the workshop where i picked my bike up.....not looking forward to taking that home :shock:

I took a ride down to Crescents (BSB factory / dealer) today and got a price on both the Akrapovic and Yoshi systems and slip ons and I'm very tempted by the yoshi as thats what they use on the GSXR race bikes but it carries quite a hefty price tag! Would be interested to know how you get on with your system. :twisted:

P.S chris svk3:- Yoshi slip on tri oval = S/S £361, Ti £440, carbon £487 (non legal). Legal slip on in round only S/S £356, Ti £400. System is £629 which is oval.
