Slip on exhausts are so called because they replace the standard can by slipping over the end of the header pipes where the standard can used to be. They then stay in place by means of exhaust clamps.

The alternative to slip on is bolt on, which bolt to a flange on the end of the headers.

And you posted a link to Gmail, not ebay... Rolling Eyes

Lean, wtf .... i understand about the other mods/upgrades in order to make the exhaust system function improve, but lean .. that's what i'm more concerned with, running the bike right, so what's lean and what do you do to combat it .. ?? .. ta Thumbs Up

I'm not bothered about pedboy mods etc, it's just that the bike linked had the arrow on it, and if i were to buy what seems a good newish biker, then i want to know what's what, as regards speed on an RS 125, well i'm going to buy a restricted model, pass my full license in the summer, then ride round legally unrestricted with no L plates, then look into something bigger next year if and when i'm bored with the 30 bhp 125 ... thanks for your explanations ... Thumbs Up

Looking at the ebay ad, thats actually a full Arrow exhaust, which is definitely derestricted. As long as that bike has had the powervalve fitted and the carbs jetted, it will make 25-30bhp. Most definitely illegal for L plates, but who cares? no one will know anyway!

There seems to be a lot of Rs 125s about at present, winter and all that, my guess is that it's got no power valve fitted, asto attract the younger buyer .. Idea

Younger riders want more power, i dont know anybody really who went to a 125 who kept it under that limit, and powervalve is the way to go. once you fit one to the rs youll wonder why you waited..

Good point, but prudence if i buy the bike i'm after, would allow me to ride it after cbt .. restricted for a matter of weeks before adding the powervalve, just to get used to it before unleashing the powerband i've seen spoke of, which i guess is a two stroke thing, as i have powerbanded a couple of scramblers many a moon ago ...

Thanks for the unput ... Thumbs Up

Well they seem like a good outfit ..... seem .... and there only 10 mile away, so i can view and chat with them, i suspect they will not be willing to drop the price much if it's as good as i hope, you can get 09 Rs 125's with similar mileage for around 2750 ... so it's not that much of a steel .. Idea

and brand new best i've seen 2010 3500 ....

It's a Nov 2007 reg btw ,...
