What exactly is wrong with the exhaust, as to pass a mot, it just must not leak and must have an eu stamp. So bodge job repair can be done 8)

:hi Welcome mate by the way

it leaks from the join from the down pipes to the silencer also its the original system and i have already welded it up 8)

Get some exhaust putty around it and all should be sweet 8)

yea, halfords do some good putty, works a treat, i had to cover up 17 little holes to get mine past mot :shock: but the exhaust was shod, it had already snapped compltly towards silencer, rewelded, and the front was so rusted there were loads and loads of little holes which were blowing :S. got though witht he putty tho

anyone got any good avice as to were to get parts ect for this as er indoors has commanded i must keep this for the time being

cheers

Hmm, i know you dont have to have one, but i think its the usual if you have it it has to work

either what alex said or the mot testers descrestion some testers let silly things like that go and some are right buggers

Hi need help what is the topend on my xj like to work on does it need shimming ect is there an aftermarket exhaust that will fit ? help please

Westie

the top end is reasonably easy to work on, at least no harder than any other 4cyl 8v head, a specific tool is needed to allow you to remove the shims with out stripping the cams out which was around £20 last time I looked.

If you remove the cam cover on these engines I would recommend using silicone to reseal the rubber gasket ( Yamaha recommend using one of the yammabond products ) or else it'll leak oil for a past time.

the engine is the same as an fz600 so if your looking for something other than motad I believe micron do a full system which should fit.

Thanks for all the advice guys it went through its MOT no problems

1 again cheers it nice to know iam not alone

Glad its all sorted mate 8)

No it's ok as long as the high & low beam work ok with the ordinary switch
