icedragon Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Hello everyone. Now I have ordered a technigas exhaust for my TZR50 and after looking at how to remove mine I have found a problem. My original downpipe has some sort of small metal pipe going to it that goes back to a little black box. Now my replacement pipe doesn't have such hole. Has anyone faced this problem before or know what I can do. Mine is a 55 plate am6. Thanks.
Moderator Airhead Posted April 28, 2012 Moderator Posted April 28, 2012 just remove what you can and blank off the pipe, it's to do with emissions. DT125RE's have this thing also and they have to do this when DEP exhausts are fitted...I have sent you a PM
Moderator Airhead Posted April 28, 2012 Moderator Posted April 28, 2012 DEP is make of a popular after market exhaust often fitted to DT125R's
icedragon Posted April 29, 2012 Author Posted April 29, 2012 Ok thanks. My new pipe should be here tomorrow so I'll blank it off.
icedragon Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 Exhaust on and runnning fine. i havent even blanked it off just left it hanging as its not in the way of anything. Only problem i had was getting it to fit. Is it suppose to have a gasket as the old one never . The old pipe had a small inset that i needed to put in the new exhaust. Just ended up using exhaust paste for now
Moderator Airhead Posted May 2, 2012 Moderator Posted May 2, 2012 yep it would need a gasket fitting between the pipe and the barrel
icedragon Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 Yamaha only list a rubber o ring by the looks of it.
Moderator Airhead Posted May 2, 2012 Moderator Posted May 2, 2012 Rubber? aghh i'm out of my depth here, usually they are heat proof aluminium / fiber jobbies
icedragon Posted May 4, 2012 Author Posted May 4, 2012 I have ordered one anyway so I'll see what turnes up
