Started the R3 when I got home from work cause its sat for the last 10 days, so I thought id start her up and let it warm a little and shoot a little charge in the battery. After 5 mins of idle this is what caught my eye. Should I be concerned?
An idea came to me, basically, why couldn't you take any set of slip-ons (say vance & hines touring pipes) and retrofit them to to the rocket? Of course the mounting points will be off, but mounting brackets aren't impossible to fabricate.
thoughts? anyone done or tried something similar...
Hi All:
I know from reading every reband exhaust thread several times that these can be a bi$%h to put on. Thus, I figured I'd leave it to the pros and let them mess with finagling it into place. They failed and I had them re-install the stock system.
Before I give more specifics on the...
My dealer replaced the underseat with unifilters (same cost) recently and re-tuned (#20352) - sounds like an Apache Gunship lives in the throttebodies when I accelerate!
Recently noted that Dennis Foran makes a short system for the R3 (called the Spur - a bit like the Shorty pipes made by ???)...
I know some may think this is a backward step but...
I rented a bike recently and it was very quiet and I couldn't help thinking how nice it was. Also I'd like to be able to mount a stereo at some point and be able to hear it.
I am contemplating putting my stock exhaust back on. The bike...
By special request (Bull). Given the wealth of discussion that has taken place on the forum since I've been a member and the old threads that I've read I would venture to say that this is one of the hottest topics on here. Given the fact that we have a widely varied membership with a hopefully...
Next week I am going to take my exhaust system to a company called Zircotec (UK company) to have it ceramic coated so that the whole system is black. Has anyone had their exhausts through a similar sort of treatment? If so, any problems or issues?
Hey all, like a lot of riders I've been looking into doing some upgrades during this brutal, crappy winter while my bike sits parked in my garage.
I finally saved up some $ to pick myself up a set of Jardines and have a few questions.
-From my understanding, Super Trapp has bought out the...
My Jar Mufflers are showing some wear after 4 years of use and I have searched like crazy for a replacement set. Jardine was bought out by Supertrapp some time ago but I finally found a dealer in Florida who says he can get them. Delivery should be end of February.
I've order a set and will post...
Why can't it be simple? Why can't I find an exhaust system that sounds mean, looks exquisite, and cheaper than dirt.. Is that really too much to ask ?!
Sorry I did a search but can't find the answer.
I just orderd the Carpenter Brute Pipes for my R3. Are they too loud for local law enforcement without baffles?
I remember reading about end caps with baffles, but can't find the thread. Where could I get baffled end caps?
So I just acquired a set of practically new D&D's from one of our members and I thought I might ask around and see if anyone else is running these.
Should I run them with or without the baffles?
I am also thinking of purchasing the Ramair filters everyone has been talking about. Might wanna see...
I lost one of the baffles out of my Jards last week. Ive contacted Jards but they dont have the correct one in stock and they wont be in production for a few months. In any case ,the shipping price is $240USD
So if anyone knows of someone who has some accident damaged Jards with a good...
Switched out my standard three pipe exhaust for the Roadster dual pipe setup and just wondered if anyone new which exhaust flowed better or made more power. I know some will say why bother but I really like the looks of the Roadster exhaust and it sounds better too. I wanted to keep the decibel...
Im chasing a Jardines exhaust baffle. I would like to buy one only but if they must be sold as a pair ,I will take them.
Lost it on a bad road last week.
I'm wondering why there isn't an aftermarket true performance exhaust company like Carpenter/Reband that makes a true 3-1 complete system for the R3 that includes full chrome heatshields? I personally don't want to look at, or spend my time polishing blued headpipes. What can I say I like the...
I think I may keep my '12 Roadster.(back is calmed down...for now:)_ I moved the foot controls forward 8" to improve legroom so now a horsepower question.
With the advent of some new exhaust systems coming down the line along with some of the new air cleaner assemblies, is it possible to get...
