Downpipe Refurbishment

[darrsi]

I think it's pretty straight forward, a matter of inserting a smaller diameter pipe into that area of the downpipes. By all means the Motads are not bad - I went to PDQ last week and when I said I had Motads Nick there went "good", so I reckon they're some of the better of the ss pipes. FYI, my bike did a smidge under 80bhp and a smidge under 41 lb/ft. Full Motad system and K&N filter, 46k miles on the clock. Not super impressive but that was before fettling and is about right for a bike of it's age/mileage. Having said all that, the FZS600 which made the most power 86.?bhp was completely standard according to his records but was a Foxeye with much less miles.

Anyway, I haven't really looked at my own pipes recently but what Paul describes in the above link makes sense to me. I think I'll give it a go this year and see if it makes a difference.

Why dont you fit the Motads to see if you notice a change in performance from your oem set?

Nick makes it all look a bit too easy when he strips a bike down, but i like the way he sits next to you on the settee in the waiting area with engine parts on his lap showing you what was wrong or what he's gonna do next! 


Here's my dyno graph before i had the K&N put in, and although i have replacement shiny downpipes even Nick couldn't tell me what brand they were so i simply don't know?
