M1 Lupo Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Riding a motorbike without exhaust cans? Literally manifolds and header pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 theres a guy up here with a chopper that does that , the whole of glasgow knows when this guy is in town cause the noise and the fact hes a knob and revs the engine while sitting at traffic lights cause the pipes are that short you can see unburned fuel spitting out the exhaust and catching light as it leaves the pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobG Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Scooby drivers with enormous great fart cans on the back are almost as bad, we have a couple of them round here that just seem to drive round and round and round... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerz Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Bikes sound crap without the cans on them, the fueling will be all over the shop (unless had it setup like this). I dont understand why, I rode my uncles cb1300 whithout the can (swaping to a race system) and it was hprrid, only roed it down the road and came back it was soo **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 He lost the bolts that held the end plates of the cans on. Then was supposed to be having them fixed...However its problem solved, he for got to put oil in the bike and let it run dry on the way to work last week. The engine locked up on the way!

M1 Lupo Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 He did a post mortem of the engine. The front piston of the V twin had a one pound coin size hole in it!I'd say the lack of cans really screwed the fuelling and caused the hole, which burned off the last of the oil....

If you make a wet flame it runs cooler... running the engine lean creates a hotter flame. This melts the engine bits..... what a newb!
