Changed the oil and filter on the 1000
and
3 sets of down pipes and one year later, I finally put the 600 back on the road today.
Must balance the carbs, adjust the suspension and recheck all the downpipe nuts and bolts tomorrow. Had forgotten the lovely roar from the intake when accelerating in 2nd and 3rd.
It felt so light and nimble after using the 1000 only for a year.
I must say Motad are a pleasure to deal with compared to Delkevic.
The delkevic pipes would not fit as they were off by about 20mm at the rear bracket and when I complained to Delkevic, they sent another set and took the first set back be return. Second set were actually worse than the first set. Definitely a misaligned jig in their workshop and when I contacted them again with the same issue, they told me I was not capable of fitting a set of downpipes,
to which I replied "That's because you are not capable of making a set which would fit. I Returned the pipes and in no uncertain terms told them how much I admired their customer support and assistance
I ordered a set of Motads from Intobikes as they were the cheapest and they fitted perfectly, everything lined up like the originals. unfortunately the no 4 pipe would not seal and I wrote to Motad. They asked me to remove the pipes and do a few checks. I did and found the no, 4 pipe was to far misaligned to be pulled by the 6 mm bolts (I think we all know how easy these are to break) They checked my order from Intobikes and a new set arrived 2 weeks later and told me not to return the the first set until I was happy. In the meantime I asked if a friend who owns a stainless fabrication company to look at the pipes. They agreed and my friend made up a jig to pull the pipe straight. Put those on the bike today.
I will try and get a deal on the second set and keep them for my sons fazer.
