Its much easier with the rad completley off, however you can undo the lower fixing brackets and do it that way, with an adjustable spanner with the angled socket points you can manage it.RedexRobB wrote:Dont think its that hard, will be akward with the radiator in the way so you might need to drain the coolant and remove it to do it, otherwsie you could end up damaging the back of the rad....

Find out where its blowing from, check your gaskets.

Re: my new micron Stainless down pipes, with Akrapovic titani
can you tighten them up any more? if not use earplugs or a mp3 player. works for me! did the pipes fit into the collecter ok? i had to heat mine up and bend them to make them fit.
anything is possible with enough time and money. and an open mind...

Re: my new micron Stainless down pipes, with Akrapovic titani
I dont use gaskets on either of my systems dude, the micron same as yours there and the beet. I dont need to have them bolted up mega tight, just nice and even.
Im not saying it right, or that you should. But it works for me ok.

Re: my new micron Stainless down pipes, with Akrapovic titani
been playin loads with the bike put my K&N filter in and the bike was missfiring at about 8000RPM
so i put the stardard filter back in and it was still missing but at about 4/5000RPM so i took the filter out and just put the mesh bit that the filter sit's on back in the air box and the bike now goes like f**k. But it still need a tune as i've been told it's running to rich if it now run's ok with no air filter.
here is a vid of a slow fly by i've not got that much of a road to open it up but it does sound well NICE
