You're a wise man!

For the same reasons I'll not join german forum!
Bye

PS. Is there someone on the german forum that have done a single can exhaust for the VTR?

 

Like this?

 

Well, hanging it with a chain IS different...

 

Yes, there are some. One of those is Highlander, he's also a member of the USA-forum, yiu might p.m. him. Or go to the german forum and watch out for highlander's posts... Or wait, I'll give you a link in minute...

But the one big disadvantage is the power loss. About 15-20 PS. And some Nm, too... So I wouldn't do it. Also cause I like the double exhaust look...!!


Here's one link with the diagram...

And here's another one...

Damn!!! I was afraid of losing few HP and Nm, but 15 HP are too much!
Its quite unbeliavable!!!!

Also I like double exhaust look, but I'm willing to sacrify look to lose some weight!!!! But not to lose 15 HP!!

Anyway, I think that using the right diameters for the silencer can let it reduce power loss.
I'd lke to know what kind of single silencer they used on their bikes.

Hey,

if you see it that way, ok. But I like the loók and I won't sacrify it...

The first link ( Stally ) got the silencer from a Kawasaki ZX10R. If you read the diagrams you will see that they tried a lot with different carb settings and ignition box mappings and much stuff like this. They are really experts at this. I don't now exactly what they were doing. But it must be a matter of settings...

The second link ( Highlander ) used a leovince pipe for a fireblade. But he didn't write which one. He lost about 10Nm in the middle and he cooperates with Higgens. He's our "Tuning God", he customized and setted the bike. Really don't now what he did.

Those are the really good bikes with single exhaust. Heard about few more trying and failing... But I didn't really care, cause I like mine for it's look...
Bye

 

OK, I understand!!
I think that my bike will keep up twin silencers!!!

If those two good tuners were not able to cut down power loss, it's impossible for me to do better. Unless I'll have a big stroke of luck!!!

As I said, I'd like to lighten the bike, but I'm not willing to lose 15 hp for 3 Kg!

Thanks

Bye

 

That's what I thought, too. But maybe you can ask Highlander about that. He would be able to tell you more about the settings and the advantages. And the disadvantages. So far wish you all a merry chrismas and a happy new year.

nothing loose here with the german vtr-driver

 

Thought about that, too. But I can't find a good topic to talk about... Got some ideas? Open for anything...

 

hmmmmmmmmm

wie wär's mit Leistungs und Drehzahleinbruch bei meinem Umbau.

PS hab ich ca. 8 verloren.
das Drehmomentloch ist inzwischen etwas ausgebügelt - zumindest subjektiv - gemessen habich noch nicht.
Hab aber auch keine Lust dazu - zumal das Gefühl jetzt wieder passt.
Wir haben ein größeren Rohr eingesetzt das von der Krümmerzusammenführung zum Endtopf läuft. Das war die Schwachstelle

 

Ah ja... Na denn. Solange man beim Fahren nichts großartiges merkt, ist es doch ok. Würde ich genauso machen. Immerhin hast du jetzt einzigartige Optik.
Mal so ein Resümee... Am Ende betrachtet: War das Ergebnis den Umbau wert, oder eher so "ein mal und nie wieder..."? Ich hab's nicht genau mitverfolgt, aber ein Haufen Geschäft war's schon gewesen, oder?

 

ja es war viel ARbeit - aber das meiste hat ja Higgens gemacht - ich hab nur bezahlt.

würd ich es wieder machen ??

Ja ich glaub schon, weil mir die VTR sonst zu langweilig wäre.
Ob ich das gleiche machen würde, ist eher die Frage.
Vielleicht was mit Underengine und nem ganz kurzen Heck à la Motogp.

Na ja mal sehn, was die nächsten Jahre so bringen

 

Das ist die richtige Einstellung...!

Und soooo schlecht sieht's doch jetzt auch nicht aus... Grins...

 

not at all !

an diesem Bike würde ich auch nix mehr umbauen.
außer vielleicht ne andere Schwinge.

 

Oh yeah, right. The bilingual thread...

Another swingarm? Hmm, what kind of? Like the RC36 or a longer two arm? Or with Undergo or Üppergo? Or just polish it? Or am I asking too much? ( Just wanna keep the Thread alive... )

What's up Riccardo and Tweety? Still out there?

 

i thought about the wingarm of rhe SP2 - maybe.


would be lokking very nice. but not at the moment. I'm looking forward to the springtime.
Und da will ich fahren und nicht basteln (lassen)

 

I'm here, and I'm fine but........my daughter, born 37 days ago, needs lots of attentions, so I don't have so much time to dedicate to the forum!
Moreover, I don't speak/understand/wirite german!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bye

 

LOL!

Ok, that's why we keep this Thread bilingual. There is nothin new to report here, so I thought about asking around...

 

Oh I'm here... Somewhere under the parts... I have my VTR apart now and doing a front end swap... CBR1000RR frontend about to go on now...

 

And the french too ... just starting to collect parts for my front brake upgrade:

GSXR 600-750 2001-03 4 pots Tokico were arrived yesterday, and now I'm looking for the front master cylinder, maybe one frome an SP1 (19 mm) or a 954 (17.4mm).

I don't really know which will be the best with those calipers.. any advices ?

 

CBR1000? Wow, nice one. With the radial brakes... Good choice! Please post pics when done. I'm very confident with my CBR900RR front end, so the later one should be even better...

Of course, how could I forget...
I would choose 19". But if I had to change, then a radial one. But costs a little more. I'm also searchinh for one, I have the stock VTR's with the CBR900RR Brake ( complete ), works great... Just cause of the design. Those small radials look great!!

 

hol hoch den Thread

 

Doch manchmal noch...

Well, just sometimes...
Nothin to discuss about here...

 

:-)

 

Still out there...?

Hey Tweety, how far is your front end swap? Already started? And the CBR tacho signals? Everythings working?


And all the others, nobody's writing here.. How are you?

 

good morning Germany
