Fitting an exhaust Pt I - SV650.org

07-09-06, 06:50 AM

Well, just about everyone has given me some advice on this so I thought I'd share the results:

Photo 1:
Make sure hte exhaust is cold. Your skin is good for determining this - lots of nerve endings & feelings.

Photo 2:
One last look at the bike before sawing commences.

Photo 3:
Mark a line 5cm from the weld. Stick a bit of wood between the bike and the swing arm & remove the rear hugger.

Photo 4:
After making a groove with the saw in hte correct location. I then sawed from over the bike seat - I'm left handed & it was easier this way. Exhaust came off after 30-45 mins up/down hand action. Would have bee nquicker without the audience of non-believers i.e. Next Door neighbour & pizza delivery guy.

Got an avi file but I'm not sure how to upload to hear hte sound of the "nekkid" bike.

The exhaust is off the bike but I need to go buy a file to file down the burrs. Part II of this experience to follow!

...and does anyone know what the foot rest thingy that I scratched is called. Oops!

Its called a 'heel plate', you should have removed the rear set and moved it out the way, it would have made the cutting easier.

I did mine with a Dremmel, no bother at all, just need to get the big (40mm ?) reinforced cutting discs, although I did end up using about 3 of them.
