Fitting a Scorpion Street Extreme, Pictorial!
 

Hi Guys I'm sure most have you have seen it all before but for the benefit of people that haven't here's a bit of a guide to fitting an after market pipe, with pics!

RECIPROCATING SAW, ONE OF THESE IS VITAL, YOU WILL REALLY STRUGGLE WITH A HACK SAW AND AN ANGLE GRINDER IS A BIT DODGY BECAUSE OF THE SPARKS!

MEASURE UP FROM THE WELD (seen in this pic jsut below the foot peg) THE RECOMENDED AMOUNT FOR THE 'EXTREME' WAS 65MM, BUT THIS WAS A REAL TIGHT SQUEEZE TO GET THE JOIN PIPE ON AND NOT COVER THE SCORPION BADGE WITH THE HANGER BRACKET, I WOULD RECOMEND 62MM UP FROM THE WELD AS THE EXTRA 3MM WILL JUST MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER TO FIT TOGETHER

ONCE YOU HAVE MEASURED DRAW A LINE AROUND THE PIPE TO INDICATE THE CUTTING POINT, I USED A JUBILEE CLIP TO DRAW AROUND AS IT OBVIOUSLY GIVES A PERFECT STRAIGHT LINE ONCE IT'S DONE UP A BIT. WHEN YOU HAVE THE LINE (USING A CHINOGRAPGH PENCIL OR PERMANENT MARKER), YOU CAN THEN REMOVE THE JUBILEE CLIP AND PUT A BIT OF TAPE AROUND TO MAKE THE CUTTING LINE CLEARER.
NOTICE THE HONEYCOMB MASS THIS IS THE CAT AND CAN APPARENTLY BE REMOVED WITH NO HARM TO THE BIKE, I LEFT MINE IN AS IT DOESN'T HURT TO DO THIS EITHER! (IF IT AINT BROKE....).

LOOSELY ASSEMBLE THE PIPE AND OFFER IT UP TO THE BIKE TO ALLOW YOU TO WIGGLE THE BITS AROUND AND GET THE RIGHT MOUNTING POSITION.

BEFORE TAKING THE NEW PIPE OFF MAKE A MARK OR TWO ON EACH END OF THE CONNECTOR SECTION THAT MARRIES UP WITH BOTH THE SILENCER AND THE MID SECTION BY THE LAMBDA SENSOR, THIS ENSURES THAT WHEN YOU FINALLY TIGHTEN STUFF UP YOU WILL STILL HAVE IT ALL IN THE RIGHT POSITION.

REMOVE THE SILENCER AND CONNECTOR PIPE, THEN USE A SMALL AMOUNT (A BEAD OR LINE) OF BATHROOM SEALENT (CLEAR IS BEST) AROUND THE INSIDE OF EACH END OF THE CONNECTOR PIPE TO PREVENT ANY LEAK OF GAS, SORRY NO PICS OF THIS BIT!

NOW PUT THE WHOLE LOT BACK ON THE BIKE AND TIGHTEN UP THE JUBILEE CLIPS ON THE CONNECTOR AND THE HANGING BRACKET ON THE SILENCER., NOTE: THINK ABOUT POSITIONING THE JUBILEE CLIPS WITH THE NUT POINTING UP TO KEEP IT CLEAR OF ROAD CRUD ETC.

THE FINISHED ARTICLE, WHOLE THING CAN BE FITTED IN UNDER AN HOUR, TOOLS NEEDED WERE THE SAW, A SOCKET SET AND SPANNER SET.

the honeycomb part is a cat (which you should smash out as far as i'm concerned) and you should have removed the lambda sensor before cutting. i mucked my sensor up by not taking it off, luckily i got another threw warranty.

but i do like the can, i had one exactly the same as they sound the dogs licky bits. ooohhh get that fekin baffle out they are put in with silicon sealant BTW and take a fair old twisting to get out.

nice, but i agree mash the cat out ;)

Re: Fitting a Scorpion Street Extreme, Pictorial!
 

Thanks for that didn't know that was the cat, why take it out will it make much difference?
Lambda sensor seems ok still tho.

Re: Fitting a Scorpion Street Extreme, Pictorial!
 

ermmmm yes. better flow of gases and a better note to the exhaust.

when i done my can i noticed considerable improvement.

Re: Fitting a Scorpion Street Extreme, Pictorial!
 

might have to have it apart again then!
Incidently the baffle was out the same day and was only held in by one bolt and no sealent, came out very easily you can see the bolt if you look closely at the inner part on the second pic. I actually don't think I would want the pipe much louder as it is pretty mental as it is!

Re: Fitting a Scorpion Street Extreme, Pictorial!
 

i ended up putting my baffle back in as the noise was getting a bit out of hand especially after 300+ miles.

but for short blasts on the nearby lanes it was lovely to have it out.

Re: Fitting a Scorpion Street Extreme, Pictorial!
 

im fitting my new exhaust on sunday so you think its better to take out the cat and the lambda sensor? the instuctions that came with it never mentioned ethier.

will removing the sensor scew with the bike?

Re: Fitting a Scorpion Street Extreme, Pictorial!
 

you have to leave the lambda sensor in or the bike fuelling will go all over the shop, they wont tell you to remove the cat because its not supposed to be removed as it was fitted because of EU legislation after 2006 (k7+ bikes).

my bike does not have a cat because its older, also ripping the cat out will lose you some weight ;)

Re: Fitting a Scorpion Street Extreme, Pictorial!
 

cool, so mine might not have a cat as its a k5.
