Before installation *THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT OR ELSE THIS WILL NOT WORK*, I took the bike out fo a fairly aggressive 40 mile ride doing speeds 55-85mph. From there, park the bike and its time to get to work.
The next step is to keep the engine running while bike is in neutral at approximately 4500rpm- a jury-rigged hose clamp or vise-grip with a rag can hold the throttle for you. From there, using the heat produced through the exhaust itself, jam the 2" to 1 1/2" PVC pipe as far into the exhaust as it will go. The first one I did by hand, and for the second I pushed the bike backwards and jammed the pipe in to the exhaust using the weight of the machine to hold it in.
After both sections of PVC have been in the exhaust for approximately 20 minutes, kill the engine and allow everything to cool for at least an hour. Using a sawzall with multi-purpose blade, saw off PVC pipes even with the exhaust pipes, and you're good to go.
I hope this helps to get you back on the road, 'Zuki....ride safe. |
Am I reading this right, you put more pvc in the exhaust????
The melting point of PVC is 176 degrees F
