right apparantly my collector box is blowing the other topic about the manifolds has just reminded me lol, well anyways does anyone know what a collector box is? i have been told that i will have to replace the whole down pipes and exhaust is this correct? soooo confused
On your engine the 4 downpipes lead into a 4into1 system, 4 pipes join together into the collector box under the engine. if that is blowing, it may be that some instant gasket and the exhaust refitting might fix it, exhaust putty is another option. Other than that, get a race system made up or scour ebay for a replacement set of downpipes
nothing but a general blowing noise from the mid section of the exhaust... can turn into a small ticking sound if the hole is small. next time ur around rivvy or something ill have a look and tell u whats best to fix it (cheap style) dont like spending money :>
Haha cheers that would help alot only problem is ya cant see a damn thing becuase of the fairings and this big thing that i have been told is a radiator i think is in the way lol
You will need to replace the collector box as some point. It will affect the perfomance of the bike and also could lead to a fire.
hows it gonna ignite fuel underneath the engine lol :> its basically like me running the bandit without an exhaust from the mid section
Indeed, petrol being ignited due to a hot engine, catching a flamable material (farings etc). Any good Garage will tell you this, or an Haynes Manual for that. Basic Sceince really.
i had my carb overflow burst doing 90 down the motorway, with a hot engine and exhaust... i carried on going lol :> lost about 5ers fuel tho
