why did i not have this problem with the standard exhaust fitted.i did not have the problem with the cagiva mito,thats prob because the end can is lower down on the bike

is the rubber joint between the exhaust and silencer leaking?

i cannot remember if there was one when the standard exhaust was on the bike but there was not when the bike shop fitted the dep exhaust.i noticed that once the dep exhaust was fitted that oil was leaking from where it joined the end can has it did not marrie up correctly,i has to put some gum gum round it and then a piece of rubber tubing held in place with two jubilee clips

You want to try the TDR, 2 pipes high up you stink to high heaven. You can tell which is the truck i usually use at work from the 'aroma' of burnt 2 stroke. My rucksac is probably watertight now :crazy:

Your old pipe probably had a smaller outlet pointing down which means the worst of the fumes will get caught in the air under the bike maybe, but that costs HP.

It may be its because the dep doesnt have a spout so the fumes arnt being directed whereas the standard one does and the one on your mito most likely did to.

My bike gear always smelt of 2 stroke, i eventually got used to it.
