I have two exhausts for my bike, neither fit. Can I run a down pipe like a road race bike?
-
What year is your RM125?
-
1983 frame with 1981 engine

Do your pipes look like this...

one is an 81, the other is an 83
the 81 fits the exhaust flange ange, the 83 fits the frame but not the barrel
so is a road race type pipe ok ie under the front and out the back?
-
Can you fabricate the two together
-
anything is possible but it's then a bodge. And not after that. So the question still remains are down pipes legal for dirt track?
-
I would expect that you would not have any trouble, lots of people run down pipes for dirt track even if the bike didn't originally come that way from the factory

thanks Noel, thats the answer I was looking for ;D
btw are you the guy that owns that really fast MT250?
-
Mmmmmm,
I own an MT,
I think it would be an exaggeration to call it really fast .
It has had the fingers of the Twostroke institute massage the motor a little,
Cheers

It will be when you get the free upgrade service pack 1.5 ;D
-
I heard that institute is a sham, Lozza thinks he has a workshop but its a shed full of lost stuff covered in swarf :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
btw how is that pipe coming along Laurie?
-
Just most of the 'stuff' is yours and it's the origin of all the swarf to >:( >:(Who's pipe yours our someone elses ;D
-
kh barrels don't make that much mess ???. The RM pipe.....isn't started is it? :D oh well when someone ask's why I'm not ready I can blame the Two Stroke Institute.
-
Loz, that isn't the finished RM pipe you showed me that I mentioned looked so much like a TS125 pipe. He should be very happy..shiney chrome guard and all ;)
-
pretty? I get the ugly experimental stuff :( but hey if it works a blinder on my road race stuff. It should be smashing for my new career as a dirt tracker ;D
-
Ya gets what ya pays for ;D ;D ;D I think the only RM pipe I've done is for a 400N
-
that won't fit ??? ;D ;D
