Fitted my new EVO Blue Flame Exhaust!

Just fitted my exhaust to my ZXR 400, it sounds so good. I have only taken the bottom baffle out for now, as I am copying the other guy on here who did the same Razz

Anyway, anything I need to do now I have put a new exhaust on, or should it be ok?

I will get pics of my bike for you all soon, just finishing off tarting it up. Thumbs Up

Guessing that'll be me Thumbs Up

Sounds fuckin' awesome dont it Twisted Evil

Still need to remove that other baffle though, just recently though had a lot of cops coming into the shop asking about 'legal' and 'illegal' things on bikes Confused

So maybe soon Thumbs Up

You noticed how the flat spots in the mid-range have gone now, bike runs much better now.

Yea it runs really nicely, although I haven't tested it out properly (only down my back road as I am yet to pass my test). Sounds gorgeous too. I will get pics up as soon as I can.

As far as tarting it up, I have replaced the fuel tank bolts with anodised purple ones (look so cool lol) I put a glow in the dark resevoir cap and oil filler cap on too. I know some of you won't approve, but it looks cool at night Smile

Getting double bubble tinted green screen soon, just ordered green and white Hein Gericke leathers and a green AGV Helmet too.

Pics will be up in the photos section soon, plus test booked in for thursday, I better bloody pass Confused

The ZXR400 really is a tarts bike! Razz

Every bugger's got one, and every bugger seems to be tarting them up! Laughing

Just make sure to keep all the original pieces for when you want to sell it. Not everyone's tastes are the same.

Does it matter if people don't approve? It's your bike do whatever the fuck you like. Very Happy

its true though isnt it Jon???
Too many folk on this forum Crush peoples hard work and vision by saying "dont do it" or "that looks crap" etc etc, your bike is yours, its personal... Stand out from the crowd and be proud of what you do to it!!!

It's the internet. People say what they think, usually without the mental checkpoint you'd have in real life... "Yes dear, your bum does look big in that".

Anyway, it's either criticism or nauseating "Wow man that's really awesome" backslapping and frankly they're both as bad as each other.

Do what you like with your own bike, but don't expect everyone to like it. If you're doing it cos you like it, you shouldn't care. If you're doing it cos you want other people to like it, you need help.

Lol sweet Going2fast Thumbs Up

How does the top baffle come out then, is it just a case of removing the circlip (sp?) and pulling it out like the bottom one. Just the bottom one was like a solid thing that blocked it, and the top seems to be some slightly longer thing (I am so technical)

Have you done anything to your carbs or whatever some people do after putting performance exhausts on? Like rejetting or whatever?

I notice there is a very small amount of fluid (like clear water looking fluid) trickling out the end of my exhaust, not like pouring out or even dripping, just spitting out a bit. Is this bad?

Sorry, I am always so full of questions...

Thanks,

Ben

Yeah mine does the same, its just un-burnt fuel i believe. Really nice when it pops Razz

Ive done nothing to the carbs or jets, no real need. Only end can, though if you had a full system i would. Spose you should, or could not that its needed. Others would say otherwise.

Oh heres a picture for you... Twisted Evil
