    Question 2000 cagiva navigator is too quiet

    Help I need to know how to make my just aquired navigator sound like a V twin and not a sewing machine. Also the front wheel is wearing on one side and I'm sure the Guy before me didn't just go round the same way all the time so not sure why it's doing it any help would be much appreciated. Now I just can't wait till the weathers fine and I'm not working to give her a good BLAT.

    Sorry, had to say it, after my single being a great buzzy 154Kg Vibrator....
    I still wake up at nights with numb fingers and hands after a days riding, but I love me Katie....!

    Like Bean Cans.....

    Or something like.....
    Italian Tomatoes.....empty can, just to keep it regional....
    Seriously....Maybe look at Neptune, they could maybe have something to give the 'Giv" a throaty burble.......
    Just enjoy the ride.....
    If it all goes well, no noise untoward, then keep heading into the hills mate!

    I did think of calling her singer that way I might get a descent NOTE out of her.
    But your right I should be greatfull I've got a bike to ride at all.
    My last one I had for 3 hours, Bought her in gizzy and by the time I got to the Matata straights it was all over.
    Bloody nice DR 750 BIG in mint condition, Oh well I'm in one piece still here and able to ride.

    Wearing on the right side?

    GSXR pipe. Fixes most problems.

    front tire

    Yep you got it she's flattened out on the right side.
    What does that mean?
    I'll keep the GSXR pipes as an alternative I'm gona try too see if I can open up the Can,s and take some of what ever's inside out.
    Any idea what's in them?
    Thanks for the advise.

    Sounds like they may been run at a bit lower pressure than normal and all right hand corners are longer than the left handers.

    Front tyres often wear on the RHS due to the crown of the road. In countries where they drive/ride on the other side, the LHS wears more.

    Cheers

    Existing pipe on right hand side too heavy. Change pipe.

    Thumbs up picture

    How the heck do I get a picture by my name?
    I want ONE
    Still a bit green behind the ears as to how to work all this.
    Wish I'd bought back the DR she was a really tidy bike, not that I'm moaning about the CAGIVA or anything but the DR was something else.
    Never really thought about the corner thing but your rightall right handers R longer and I've figured out that it's COS we drive on the left.
    Butjust ride that's all that matters till the next trip
    Cheers for all the help
