Redbird Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What's up with the kickstand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
none Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 What's up with the kickstand? I don't like to put holes on hot pavement. XX is a heavy bike. From the shadows in the pictures, you could tell they were taken mid-day, when it is hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vase Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Why did you change it to a single exhaust from the double -also has it been rebalanced since you did this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Toxxic - no joke. Serious question about it being rebalanced. When an exhaust is changed especially from double to single or aftermarket exhausts are put on - adjustments should be made.

Should additional wheel weights be added to the rear wheel on the side the exhaust was removed from? Or should a tube full of mercury be added under the seat, which could shift during extreme lean angles? I am really curious how to adjust for a single side exhaust.....

From the shadows in the pictures, you could tell they were taken mid-day, when it is hot. Gotcha. With the 2 or 3 inches of block you had under there in the one photo I didn't know if there was another reason. Tim, I think (?) vase is asking about rejetting for the full system. Although his asking why go to a full system has me wondering if it might be exactly what you're thinking, which could get amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was also thinking why he had changed something of natural beauty - the whole essence of the bike is stealth - not look at me and my loud exhaust. Do you still have the original cans as I may well be interested in buying it. I currently have a 96 with all the touring trimmings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Rebalanced or jetted for performance. Got it. Guess I hadn't heard it called rebalanced before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
none Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 I've converted many dual exhaust system motorcycles to single-sided exhaust systems, never once I've heard of anyone concerned about balancing the exhaust can weight after the conversions. Personally, I like loosing about 13 lb. from the XX's OEM dual exhaust system. Do not assume that all aftermarket exhaust systems are "look-at-me-and-my-loud-exhaust". Besides, I wear earplugs every time I ride my XX, just to protect my ears from the loud wind noise at XX's travel speed. I do not have the OEM exhaust, but one can likely find them rather easily.
