| Post subject: | stupid question about exhausts |
I know that many of you will think this a stupid question but I am not to clued up on the ins and outs of engine performance and tuning. I have seen for sale generic pipes and cant help but think that if these exist then why cant I put an XB12 zorst on my 1125? What would be the negative effects? After all, doesnt the ECU just learn and compensate for the change in exhaust flow? I am not too fussed about increasing performance as the bike already has more than enough for me but I would really like to improve the sound, but there really isnt much in the way of good underslung exhausts for this bike; and what there is seems incredibly expensive. Has anyone tried putting an aftermarket XB exhaust on an 1125? What were the results? Cheers, Ben |

Generic pipes are shit. The ECU doesn't have an infinite range of adjustment. The XB exhaust won't easily fit under an 1125. Speak to tubbs. |

Actually I wont leave this to Maz, ffs think it through before you type it will ya!!!!! I used to have a girlfriend that asked dumb questions eg. "what's that island over there?" I reply "that's the isle of wight" she then asks "can we drive there?" after a while she realised I was gonna take the piss everytime she said something stupid she used to stop mid convo like this "I was thinking....... hang on *huge pause* doesn't matter". if it was as simple as putting a XB pipe on a 1125 don't you think there would be a shed load of threads telling you how to do it? what works best? Pash's how to section? I welcome egg on my face on this topic |

Might just be a coincidence, JBR, but whilst you reckon your tolerance gets shorter by the day, I'm starting to warm to you!  jonnyboyrebel wrote: I used to have a girlfriend that asked dumb questions eg. "what's that island over there?" I reply "that's the isle of wight" she then asks "can we drive there?"  Although I can't help but feel that the first 4 words in that sentence are very telling. |
