    Might want to pick one of those up to see how heavy it is first. Standard road bike exhuasts are alot heavier than a standard mx pipe.

    I wouldnt buy those, you'd loose too much back-pressure, i might be hard finding good mufflers, but do it once and do it right,

    Getting Hot;

    I am puzzled. ignore the fact that I fitted GN250 carb today, because this problem has been with me since Sun after I had pulled the non-essential wiring out.

    With the bike idling, and the occasional blip, the pipe is getting VERY VERY hot, and the casings are rather warm. Is this normal?

    Is there anything I could have done during de-wire that would have affected anything, could the CDI affect this?

    Might sound like I am a dumb arse , but it's got me screwed!

    The casings will get warm and the header will get seriously hot. Nothing to worry about. Playing around with four stroke dirtbikes in a garage at night the headers can glow cherry red.

    Na thats pretty normal to me, the pipes get hot as they are double wall steal and hold heat and theirs lots of trapped gases inside. Remember the engines get hot as they are air cooled, I could be wrong, but it seems all normal to me, Good luck with the rest of the bike.

    Cheers Henk, yeah, only run for 1 - 2 mins, and man, cook an egg and fry me up some bacon dude....

    So am I right, there is nothing electrical that can advance/retard the bike.....??

    Look at it his way. About 3 cm from the top of the header you have the combustion chamber. It gets pretty hot in there.

    Yea the exhaust gases sit around in there and slowly leak out.....also the very very thick steel they use dosnt help, Maybe one day ill use my powers for good and teach suzuki how to build exhausts .

    You fella's should see the exhaust i made for my cbr, not one to brag....but you'll all be green with envy.....

    Oh yea, and ray dont buy a racing CDI if you wana say to your engine. Look forward to seeing your motofxr on the track soon.
