Help... High level link-pipe... - SV650.org

18-11-04, 07:12 PM

I've just bought a high level link pipe (from the NEC) for my Remus can...

It's really tight fitting the can to the link pipe...

I've cleaned out the inside of the can's collar, but I can only get the link pipe about half way in before it's jammed solid... I've tried heating up the collar to make it expand a bit - no joy...

Even put WD-40 on the link pipe & inside the collar to see if that'll help

Anyone got any tips

Hi Cloggsy,
Is the end of the link pipe de-burred? You may have to file the link pipe. Have you measured it against your existing pipe, with manufacturing tolerances it may be slightly bigger!

put a hacksaw cut into the link pipe in order too make the outer circumference smaller

you could then weld this up

but its not very good really as a get out of jail card

Try sanding the link pipe down where it fits in the sleeve on the can. You won't need to take much off as it can't be far out.

Or hacksaw a couple of slots into the link pipe (parallel to the direction of the pipe) as per the other post so that it will squash as you push it in.

My Boss's mate builds bespoke exhaust systems for Honda... He's going to sort it for me...

Might even ask if he'd be interested in building me a bespoke system

That's be nice

Is it Roy at OS? I know he has a hand in building the Honda race systems. If it is, you're in luck

Dunno - But if it helps, he lives in Easingwold, North Yorkshire - He works for Mugen Honda

Very clever chap... I could go into a few stories, but they are for another time

Ah no, different guy then. Roy built me a ridiculously compacted version of a Yam Virago downpipe that made it possible for the horrible thing to speed on motorways

I had the exact same problem as you with the CCC low level pipe, I solved it by havinga bigf exhaust leak for 2 months then replaced it with a high level, so my advice is probably not wanted here.
