steve_in_scotland Posted August 18, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted August 18, 2004 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_in_scotland Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share 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.

Pete Posted August 19, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
