help i think i could of cooked me cat

went out for a little ride and got a miss-fire so limped home 15 -20 miles
after about 10 my mate rode up from behind and flagged me over
i now have a temperd bronze effect standard can and the inside was a lovely almost white hot.

could unburnt fuel have been ignited in the cat and cooked it ?

Do they have cats?

I was just thinking that, i don't think they do.

thought the k5 had one in bottome 1/3 of can
but was only told this by a friend so not sure

something in there def cooked lol

I have a K5 and I was never told there was a cat on it and it's not in the manual or any of the literature that came with it, could be wrong tho

Well if the K5 standard can comes with a Cat, look on the bright side, 90% of owners no longer have the extra weight :P

And there was me thinking this was going to be some tale of woe involving an unfortunate incident with a domestic appliance and a domestic moggy!

i am also made to belive that the cat is in the bottom part of the original can thats why when you cut it off you realize how heavy it is.

Looked in the Haynes Manual, it says FI models have a three-way cat in the silencer, if the bike develops a misfire do not ride it or as little as poss until you fix it.
