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.

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  ____________________ Flip Wrote: You're a bloke, you don't need kids.

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 ...  ____________________ Flip Wrote: You're a bloke, you don't need kids.

I doubt that a slip on can will have ANY significant performance effect on a restricted RS125, and that looks like a nice clean undropped bike.
To be honest, I think 90% of the members of this forum who had 125's probably derestricted them. My NS125R had a full Micron system and made about 20bhp. I never got pulled over and I even did my test on that bike and no one said anything.
As long as you don't ride like a pratt you'll be OK, and when it comes down to it, there's no point buying a two stroke 125 unless you're going to derestrict it, because a CG125 is cheaper, more reliable and easier to look after. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F; Cheap project: CBR900RR FireBlade

Not to hot on the current market value of RS125's but I'd question why it has a full arrow system with no powervalve motor fitted.
The RS125 was restricted by removing the powervalve motor... and also I suspect restrictions in the exhaust. I'm not sure about the logic of replacing the exhaust with an expensive aftermarket item if the bike hasn't already been brought to its full potential by having the PV motor fitted.
Seems a bit sus to me. Its a very recent RS125 for not a lot of money, no powervalve but a full Micron system...
I'd like to hear other people's opinion before I commit myself I guess... ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F; Cheap project: CBR900RR FireBlade

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 ..  ____________________ Flip Wrote: You're a bloke, you don't need kids.

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 ...

But was it a pink powerband? .
I just sold my Gilera SC125 for £1600 and that has 3600 miles on the clock with '08 plates. They are cheaper to buy brand new than the RS though.
As Cuban Pete said, that seems like a lot of RS125 for not a lot of money, a bit suspect.
I took my test on an unrestricted Gilera SC125, about 24-26bhp iirc and never got questioned. . ____________________ "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul."

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