How does one go about fitting an exhaust onto a Suzuki Bandi

[petechett]

i want a nice exhaust for a GSF600 Bandit 04 but i don't know where to buy it and how to fit it?

thanks, i am a noob sorry

Grinder, cut current can off, ebay bandit exhaust, but the Viper + link pipe kit. Slide it over the cut off exhaust, clamp it on.

Before you do anything, get under the bike where the connector is just below the oil level window and have a good look at the condition of that connector. My '04 was pretty mint but that exhaust connector was well rotted away behind the chrome shield.

ok , can i just get a garage to do all of this for me? or is that a rip off?

If the collector needs welding, it probably will as its a mild steel collector. Its easiest to get the manifold off and then get the exhaust piece welded.

I would also remove the rubber snorkel in the air box to help the bike breathe.

Here's the link pipe link :-

If you can afford it, and you're keeping the bike for a while, treat it to a complete stainless system, they don't rust like the steel ones and are easier to keep clean.

If you shop around, I'd have thought that you could pick up a decent system for about £350.....maybe less. If you want to do it on the cheap, look out for a good used system.

The problem with removing it can be with the exhaust studs that hold the exhaust onto the cylinder head. If they're rusted, there's a good chance they will snap rather than unscrew. Not the end of the world but a bit of a pig to sort out.

The header bolts on my '04 all came out - but only just.

On my '96 Mk1 they all snapped, as detailed elsewhere.
