Good luck RDJase. Camping sounds like fun... fire and beers.. hmmmm

well, the baffle wouldn't come out

but i'm not into making things louder anyway, if anything i'd want to make it quieter

Yeah it makes enough of a racket now. Baffle was totally choked in, plus there has been a lot of previous "welding" been done and I suspect the heat from that has distorted the cylinder shape and locked in the baffle.
Glad psyguy's pretty handy with a hacksaw, after making the rear rack for the BMW this week, I was totally over hacksawing.

Jase: Dammit, it clashes with the Faglan With A Twist run, otherwise I would really want a go, a go on John's chair that is Was supposed to have a go last year but was still coming back from my SI trip. Awwwww

just got back from DODGY'S CUSTOMS garage.
have the exhaust all sorted:
silencer cut, grinded, repositioned, welded, grinded again,
then rear bracket removed, bent a few times for a perfect fit, cut, grinded, welded, grinded again...

no injuries, not even a swear word

next phase: procoat

Sounds like he did a good job for you. Hope you are sorting him out with the equivalent time in professional services. I know he could use them

Yeah Croc, professional services, a sofa and soothing stereo music (maybe even surround sound with all those donated radios) to soothe that troubled soul!!

Dodgy,I had to be brutal with mine to get the baffle assy out. After cutting the cylinder from the cone, you have to undo a small cap screw under the slash cut area and then drive the baffle out through the slash opening. The cylinder is slightly oval, so it takes a bit of force. Before re-assembly, I drilled a 6 mm hole in the underside of the cylinder up near the cone, so I could plug weld it to the baffle after re-alignment and welding the cylinder back onto the cone. It's a bit noisier now, but not toooo much.

Reckon he might be EWE far gone, he wants acerage in the country.

Blimey, glad psyguy didn't know all that first
Sounds like hours of fun for the whole family, such a shame to have missed out on it.

The parts bloke at the Ducati shop told me the GN 250 starter motor is the same as the 900ss....but I think his comment was aimed at Ducati owners not GN 250 ones...
I don't know about GN250's but have you googled to see if other ones from the Suzuki range fit...?
Is the starter clutch a non return bearing sprag clutch?

[KiwiGs]

The Dunedin branch of the BFTP club has just finished a ride. I had $2 but there was no one to give me a STICKET
Fairly uneventful all members home safe, funny thing though there seems to be an extra bike in my garage now ..........

[caseye]

He he bloody ha ha well done that na, tell Croc to send ya a handfull of STICKETS OR "HIS" machine doesn't leave the premises. LOL.
I reckon it'll be raining stickets AT KiwiGs PLACE IN OH ABOUT TEN MINUTES FROM NOW!
