Changing from standard to racing exhaust

Post by Lasse »

When changing the exhaust, I reckon I should re-jet the bike, what have you others done?

Any systems that are preferred value/output wise.

Or maybe someone who has a complete front half of the std. system? :)

My questions was ment like this, have you checked the plugs after fitting the exhaust to check that it is not too lean or rich?

No, it rides fine so i think they will be o.k, but now you've said it i might go out and have a look at one.

Are fouled plugs the only way you can find out if it's running to lean?

when i got my first nc30 it had a standard system cut with a jap home market can,standard jetting,it ran great,got it up jetted to 120/122 and it pulled better from light etc but when i finally got it dynoed the operater said it was very very rich,and put it back to standard....again it ran brilliant if a little weak pulling away from lights...

just whatever you can get,i have seen and heard of jap aftermarket systems like ethos,tsr,beet,yamamoto going for in and around 150 but i have also seen the flip side and seen systems go for £500+,i still think so lovely sounds and performance can be got from just a standard system cut with a can,but the jap ones are usually lighter and give better powers,but weigh up are you going to notice 2bhp and be happy spending an extra £150 to get it ?

good call,take off the standard uncut system and buy one thats already cut and bop a can on there,happy days....the cut system you buy you could always replace the rusty old coolars for some s/s ones so they never rot away again
