steve_in_scotland Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Hi, I do 100 miles a day commuting on my lovely 1997 XJ600S Divvy. Its a great bike, good to ride, very reliable, and economical. My bike still has the original 4 into 2 exhausts and both the 2 into 1 bits have rotted and just started to leak. I am thinking of replacing the whole exhaust systeme with a Motad 4 into 1. Has anyone else done this and were there any problems? Cheers Steve
Bazz Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Hi Steve, :hi to the Forum! The motad is a reasonable alternative, and if you give it a good service including the carbs you should even get a few more horses :twisted: . I had a Divvy 600, then a 900, and think that the biggest downside is that it spoils the look of the bike - it's well balanced with a can either side and they do look weird with only a right one. :shock: If you have any intention of changing the bike, stick to the 4/2 - it'll hold a better price :wink: It's not difficult to get and fit a new collector box thus retaining the original cans, it just depends on their condition and your personal preference i guess.
Pete Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I found it a bit of a bastard to access the sump plug on the 600 with a Motad on it.
steve_in_scotland Posted August 19, 2004 Author Posted August 19, 2004 Thanks for the replies. I agree with you, Bazz, about the looks. It does look great with the two cans and one can is gonna be a bit unbalanced. I'll have another look at replacing the collector boxes. Cheers Steve
Pete Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 I know somebody does collector boxes at half the price of the Yam originals...but I can't remember who it was. I know Motad do one, but there was somebody else.
