HI i have done a quick search but didnt find anything
I'm putting on can on my exhaust so im trying to take it off
i have undone all the bolts and i have been jigging it around for ages but no luck
what is the trick it looks like i cant get the rear pipe over the studs and swingarm
also im doing it on the sidestand is that why it's a bastard??
thanks

What part of the exhaust are you trying to remove?

Which bike, and is it the standard exhaust system?

I've never removed a standard (1 piece) system, if it is you might need to remove the rear shock (or get nasty with an angle grinder!).

sorry yeah it's an nc30 and it is the standard exhaust

It is a total pain in the arse.. You'll have to fight with it. Sliding the rear off the stubby manifold is tough on a cut or aftermarket system..let alone a full length standard one.

a chap I was chatting to at boxhill with a full system said it was easier with the swingarm out

You should be good if you get the shock out.

I assume you don't have the required stands, so try the old car jack under the (rear) of the engine trick. It's been a good few years since I've had to deal with a stock exhaust, but I don't recall too many issues? Just add heaps of WD40 and loosen all the bolts before you get it on the jack.

Good luck!
