i own a sinnis apache 125. im currently upgrading it.

i have a mikoni carb (however its spealt) with k&n pod air filter with the standered airbox removed, its also been rejetted. well recommended BTW!!

so here is my problem. i have got a endurence performance slip on race can, i know it will fit with some adjustments, BUT! i want a stainless steel downpipe not the one that comes with it as its s***e!
this can will go up to 35mm. i have looked on ebay and only one person is selling a stainless steel downpipe and can, but he wont sell seprate. this seller also says it wont fit on the drum brake model (this is my model, the 08 version)

can someone please explain why the brakes affect the downpipe, even better were i can get a stainless steel downpipe for my much loved and very quick sinnis apache 125?

EDIT: i am currently spraying the plastic panels matt black. i rubbed them down and gave them a primer and i been rubbing down with wet and dry between coats, the top coat is coming out blotchy like it has wax or something on and its cracking all over. HELP!

much love

Um, the brakes won't affect the diameter/fitting points of the exhaust at all, unless there's some utterly perverse* pipe routing involved.
If there's a difference in model year, then sometimes minor changes are made. However, the easiest way to check would be to sight-compare the mounting points between your stock one and this guy's aftermarket one, and to check the pipe diameters.
What's the rush for a stainless one, anyway? Yours can't have rusted through yet, surely? I know it's a chinese bike, but that would be reality-bendingly fast corrosion, unless you keep it in a salt water tank, or something.
Keep the pipe you've got for now, unless you've got the money and the itching need to use it.
If you're worried about surface corrosion, keep it doused in ACF50 or something similar.


*i.e. including the extra four feet needed to make it interfere with the rear brake.

Laughing I've got one of the same bikes, sold as a pulse adrenaline, and there is no way it can be described as quick Laughing

For what it's worth, when searching for parts, use the term XF125-GY - it'll get you all the stock parts as well as most of the modified parts available for it, regardless of brand name - the same model is sold under many different labels.

I know for a fact that the same bike is sold as: Pulse Adrenaline, Sumo XF, Superbyke RMR and Sinnis Apache. Probably more names to add to that, but I can't be arsed to check.

Buy some high-temperature paint, or do what some ratbikers do - sand the rust off it, and then coat it with a bit of cooking oil. Run it for a while, clean it, and then add some more cooking oil. Rinse and repeat. I'm told you'll end up with a pretty resilient finish, which smells pleasing, too.
I haven't got round to this yet, because I'm lazy as hell, and since I put a cherrybomb exhaust on, it's too loud to use regularly.

You can get high-temperature paint from Halfords, or some similar car/bike shop. You should only really need the one can, if all you're spraying is the exhaust pipe.

The acceleration is pretty good compared to a cg, certainly - the gearing's much shorter. Don't misread my cynicism - I enjoy my one, purely because of it's sillybastard appeal - it feels massively inappropriate as a 125, and i love that Very Happy

:edit: incidentally, it looks like I've been contradicted in your general bike chat post, so it may be worth phoning CMPO and asking if the exhaust is any different between the disc version and the drum version.
CMPO are the main importers of Chinese bikes, and they're pretty helpful - I've phoned them up in the past, and they've always been pretty good to me.
