 Posted: 18:07 - 14 Mar 2006 Post subject: Kundo exhaust fitted. |
 |
|
Finally came today.
Fitting was fairly easy, the springs were a bastard, got a few cuts from trying to hook them on but other than that it was fine.
Results;
Powerband is more powerful, but below 5k its a little more useless than before.
sounds nice, idle is fairly deep, when you rev it screams, then pops and gargles when you let off the throttle. Carbs may need a little playing with, but it runs fine, idles fine, goes well.
Doesn't look half bad either, not bad for £90 |

Its actually a fairly well made pipe, the finish is on a budget but it works well
Got it from ebay.
I plan to get a kundo bore kit (the exhaust is designed for it). |

2 of my mates both got kundo exhausts for their scooters.
On one of them the black bit on the silencer started rattling and spinning around until the can eventually fell off.
The second one has rotted away at the manifold until it broke in less than a year from brand new. ____________________ Go back to bed - You have no rights - "Streetfighters ~ Mainstream motorcycling's crackwhore sister." |

It's a 50, the exhaust is on the right.
They're good for the price but make sure you keep it clean, or it *will* rot away very quickly. Might be an idea to VHT it sooner rather than later, to stop it corroding so much.
Check your plug too, to make sure it's not running rich (the plug will appear whitish). It should be a nice chocolatey colour, if it isn't you'll need to upjet or it'll sieze.
Nice looking bike  ____________________ ::'04 Yamaha Jog:: || ::'01 Honda NSR:: || ::'00 Suzuki Swift:: || ::'89 Swift GTi:: || ::'96 Swift Poverty Spec:: || ::'92 Swift GTi:: |

Is it a full system or just the end can?
Looks pretty mint mate, but expect some immature cracks at the bamboo cane size pipe
The black can realy emphasises the smallness of the pipe...
Could just be me, but it looks like its gonna snap

The exhaust comes with 2 connecters, one for the smaller port, one for the old, bigger port.
I'm going to change the rear sprocket, then get a bore kit hopefully.
Kind of anoying going out on rides, im faster than my mates 50's, and slower than the 125's. So im either trying to ride out of my ability, or just pootling along.
It's nice to go out on my own though, good fun to be had on tight corners
Might keep the gearing the same, the acceleration is fun, and top speed is in the top 50's, so im happy. |

Wow, Palmer, you've actually admitted your 50 has a top speed of the high 50s What a shock after hearing about all the other 50 owners who cruise at 75mph and brush off 125s
Leave the gearing as standard, if you upgear it the power delivery will be random and hard to use in traffic etc... Accelaration is more fun than topend anyway

Tis what im thinking jonnay
But combining sprockets with bore kit will keep the acceleration, and add a little top speed.
OT ... how dodgy does 'acceleration' look is that how its spelt? |

all ive done is has bigger jets in the carb (done by previous owner), de-restricted exhaust and a extra tooth on each sprocket and it does 50 on flat, flat out!
ive had 65mph flat out at 11,000rpm

Full revs,12k, (2k into redline) the speedo says 65.
New exhaust doesnt stop revving at redline, which is a bit dodgy when your cruising along, and you look down and see your going right past red line  |
