Slip on can

[aff-man]

#$#@!$%#!$!$#!$ Well i was noticing a bit of drag on the top end of the revs and so when i took a look at the can i find that middle thingy has com loos at one end and so is now the exit hols is well halved sorta. Anywho i cant get at it because after taking the can off i realise that is it welded inside the thing and the oly way to get at it is to cut open the can. I have a few ideas as to how i can fix this but first i want to see how much an old slip on will cost etc. Anyone got any ideas??

KK how did you ....."make" yours hahaha

:killingme great technospeak. Luv it

[vifferman]

:killingme great technospeak. Luv itTo be fair to the others who might be technically challenged, he should really have warned us by putting "(technical term)" after each of the technospeaks, then had a footnote explaining them.:blink:

[aff-man]

:killingme great technospeak. Luv it

thingy* Object that looks like something
middle* not at the front back or sides
com loos* a wierd way of saying come loose
exit hols* like exit holes only more interesting and well yes....... :crazy:
sota* not quite

[Hitcher]

[Pedant alert] I suspect you mean "slip-on can" (a name) rather than "slip on can" (a safety instruction).

Isn't punctuation marvellous!

wierd

... a weird way of saying 'weird'.

[aff-man]

See at least one person understands :confused2 :confused2 :confused2

[vifferman]

See at least one person understands :confused2 :confused2 :confused2That's possibly because his Swirling Vortex of Zeal was also subject to a "middle thingy has com loos at one end" (technical term). So, he has some sort of empathetic (or is the 'em' redundant?) response to your sorry story.

[jrandom]

That's possibly because his Swirling Vortex of Zeal was also subject to a "middle thingy has com loos at one end" (technical term).

Yeah, except that my middle thingy commed loos at BOTH ends.

Actually, it was Blakamin's middle thingy. But I prefer not to think about which end Blakamin's middle thingy coms at, loose or otherwise.


So, he has some sort of empathetic (or is the 'em' redundant?) response to your sorry story.

I think the 'et' is redundant.

It is so good to see so much tech knowledge coming to the fore to help a fellow biker in need. :ar15: :shake:
bet he is glad he posted a good question and did not waste time on anything trivial :thud:

[jrandom]

:ar15: :shake:

dos that meen you hate me and wish to shoote bulits into my bottom?


:thud:

and then yuo will fall down?

[James Deuce]

Not quite.

Empathetic and empathic are two different words. They are both adjectives of Empathy. The first is the most traditional one, where the second is often referred to in the psionic sense a la Counsellor Troy in STNG. They can be used interchangeably though.

He wants something cheap, and good, and quickly, and there is no such beast. We're trying to avoid saying it.

Dude your best bet is the wreckers.

Shouldn't you interchange 'first' and 'second', there?

Dont worry, I stress not, it was all rather amusing to read, why some even mentioned the topic once :Punk: :yeah:

[James Deuce]

No Empathetic is the correct adjective of Empathy. Empathic is a recent spelling adaptation.

[vifferman]

Anyone got any ideas??Oh sorry - I tripped over the unusual translation from Danish, Swahili or whatever and missed this little bit.

How about: get the middle thingy straight, put a rod down the middle, fill the can up with some of that expanding foam, then pull the rod out? That should hold the middle thingy in place and make your bike stealthily quiet. :niceone:





Well it is an idea.
You didn't say it had to be a good one.

And it's better than my first idea which was to use fast-setting concrete.



It's not my fault it's my first day back at work this year and I've gone nuts.
Werlll... I spoze technically it is, but I'd run out of leave....:crybaby:

Yes, but you referred to 'empathic' first, and 'empathetic' second.

What i was actually asking. Through the use of many technical terms is , is there a way of fixing this. Was gonna put a bit of pipe in the end so it hooks on the outer casing....... But hey i don't need it to be good or quickly as the bike goes fast enough as is :eek5: but it might be nice to see what my options are. Also does anyone know the cost of a slip on can like not a yoshi or micron or anything but something usable.... a website would be helpfull.. Cheers

I'm getting a battery for the CBR600 tomorrow, so I'll rev the nuts off it and record it so you can hear what it sounds like. Bloody Marvellous!

Stop hijacking our Star Trek spelling thread.

You were right, I fuxxx0red it. It is now fixx0red.

Already emailed them and they don't make one for the zxr400 at the moment.So you did get the CBR... the one from that bikepoint add i posted or what??

Jrandom... I bloody left saffa land to get away from hi-jackers like you :mad: :killingme :killingme

[vifferman]

What i was actually asking. Through the use of many technical terms is , is there a way of fixing this. Was gonna put a bit of pipe in the end so it hooks on the outer casing....... Could you get some perforated core (technical term) of the appropriate diameter from a muffler shop and stuff it up the inlet/outlet end? I did this (initially) as a temporary fix for the FahrtSturm's bafflectomy: got some perforated core, cut it to length, cut some slits in it to wedge it into the existing baffle tubes and hold it tight, then stuffed it tight into the end of the muffler. Then I riveted it to the muffler through the little drain hole at the bottom of the end spout. Quietened it down to "LOUD" from "VERY LOUD!"
Then, having deflected the immediate attention of the police and other do-gooders away from the noisy beast, I had time to devise a better fix, to whit - a ploog (TM).

No, it's the CBR600FH I've had in the garage not working since I got the TRX (sob) that Heather won't let me race in pre-'89, no matter how much whining I do.

I've discarded the shattered lower fairings, cable tied the side covers to the subframe, and F5Dave (lovely chap) made it work for me. Getting a new battery tomorrow, a 2nd hand rear tyre on Monday, then off to the Testing Station for a new plate.

[aff-man]

Nice one. They sure are old beasts how is she handelling compared to the trx???

(hahaha hijacked my own thread)

The hjacking in here is starting to look like an Al Qaeda operation.

The CBR handles better than you would imagine. The TRX steered like a dream once the suspension was sorted. The CBR, despite the steel frame, skinny forks, and lo-tech rear suspension flicks from side to side a lot quicker than the TRX, and it "feels" better mid-corner. The TRX handles better under power though.

So is Councillor Troy helping Jrandom with his seventh pot of cream cheese?

I often wonder why she (Cr Deanna Troy) got a seat on the bridge...

Federation Diplomatic rep.

Political appointment. Rememebr the crap about her command exams? Wanting to get a red shirt?

[Hitcher]

Federation Diplomatic rep.
But she's just a social worker, albeit an empath to boot. Shouldn't she be off elsewhere "counselling" rather than just tottying around where there are REAL decisions to be made?

Hah! It's a new PC feel-good universe out there. They NEED social workers man. SOme seriously screwed up planetary civilisations out there.

Look at the Cardassians for instance.

Wasn't she helping him with his seventh Monteiths Black ? :shifty: :shifty:

I have a large repository of ideas, but many of them are not fit for public consumption..... :shake: :moon: :love: etc etc

[Hitcher]

Dunno. She's the empath. Although after seven Monteiths Mr Jrandom's thought processes are probably something like:


Hmmm, beer
Whoar, totty
Woo, wheelies
Lovely plumage
Arrrr, pizza
Hmmm, beer...

[sedge]

Yup... Wrecker or old style bike shop (you know, the ones where they hoard stuff, never to be seen again)... I got a black carbon fibre (looking, may have been fake) later model ZX9r can for my old ZXR750, a bit damaged by a swing arm munt on the invisible side of the can and a bit rubbed where the hanger used to be - for $60 !

Sounded freaking awesome ! Angry even... MMmmm nasty can... Well worth checking a few shops and wreckers for 'leftovers'

Sedge.

[avgas]

If u drop ur bike off to custom chambers im sure they could rig something up for ya.
Just a note that may come in handy, my Laser Zorst is actually for a ZXR9 - fits with a small piece of joiner pipe. Might help if your lookin for a 2nd hand pipe

Sounds pretty accurate.....

Had some monteiths Kristall-Weizen spicy clove beer at New Years.... I bet after 7 of them you would still be far more lucid than above. They taste like very little at all, which is weird......especially for monteiths....

Ooo - I looked at that , but got Radler and Summer instead.

I'll save the Black for Winter.

Yeh I'd skip it completely if I were you. Summer ale is a far better choice.... Haven't had the radler....

[James Deuce]

Most people think the Radler is too sweet, but then I enjoy a good litre shot of shandy sometimes, especially when it's hot. The Radler gives me a nice shandy hit. Very embarrassing, but there you go.

[gav]

mmmm, beer ...
Hey Jim2, were you still looking at that TRX on TradeMe, I see he answered some of your questions, sorry havent had a chance to go look at that FZR600 yet.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Interesting..... I take it its a class above the "might as well be shandy" Lion Red/Export Gold/generic kiwi beer beers?

[avgas]

Stones is good for you.
I kept me alive through the Cold Kiwi many a year.
But when i cant get it there is plenty of RTDs cheap enough so i can still by petrol that week

Wooo what a hijack - beer to bike purchasing!

No worries Gav.

Decided to back out of over 800cc purchases due to Insurance costs.One has to be realistic and all :)
