Hi all

Just a quick one

would a remus link pipe fit a devil slip on? I have no specs on either, I may have found a cheap source of the remus pipes

This is for my vara 125 btw

Sorry Alex, we need the exact size of the o/d of the header pipe or the link pipe i/d. Preferably measured with digital caliper or a very precise steel rule.!They should be the same! We also need the same for the other end of the link pipe! There's no other way of doing it mate.

No worries, gona get my hands dirty on Saturday getting it apart then

Right, any ideas how im going to get internal diameter without taking the pipe off? Would be annoying to take off, measure, then put back on again ...

Pix look useful mate, need some with cover off if poss. Once I know what pipe to order can you either take detailed measurements or preferably bring/post it to me?

Yeah no probs, Will get the measurments of diameter and cover off pics tomoz.

Probs wont be able to send you the exhaust as I commute on the bike every day

HI

I have taken some pictures and have outlined the areas that I need a pipe fabricated for.

I will be able to get some more accurate lines/measurement when I get the actual can in the post

LEt me know if the pictures are too rubbish and Ill get some bigger ones.

Sorry, Varadero 125 2009

I have had a go, but doesnt seem to fit in the old location.

Yup relay is already wired and ready to go, just need to find a place for it

Hi all

Due to me riding around with numpties on my commute, I have purchased a Nautilus Compact air horn.

Now, Im looking for places to mount it, the front area where the horn is at the moment is a) a bad place due to water, spray etc b) doesnt have a spare mounting hole.

I was thinking of mounting on the side of my top box , but then the sound wouldnt be directional

Any ideas?

Quite possible, although I have used them in the past for a couple of custom exhaust jobs so you would think they would jump at the chance to make 30 odd quid from bending a small piece of pipe twice!

Cheers for your help.

I dont have any pics but this illustrates it quite well:

The silencer section is seperate and is held on with an exhaust clamp. The stainless section of pipe in the image is essentially the bit I need

Such are the joys of the internet!

Cheers!

Or so you would think, from the reactions of most places I have tried!

I currently have a devil slip on can but am missing the pipe from the can to the engine.

Devil sell this as a kit for my bike (2009 Honda varadero xl125v), but nobody sells the pipe seperately.

Any ideas on what I can do do obtain this piece of pipe? My local exhaust shop quoted my 70 quid, which I think is a bit steep for a bit of pipe!?!?

Thanks in advance!

if it stops with the clutch in, you've got clutch rattle!

 

Just to re-phrase this for you:

Pull the clutch lever in (towards you) with your hand and if the noise stops with it pulled in like this, then it's probably clutch rattle.

If the noise continues, it is probably not clutch rattle.

Now get that dealer to give it a good check-up

Ahh ok.

Cool, Thanks!

Will it get quieter and louder with clutch in or out?

">

Less viscous not more viscous! (as per vid)

59 plate with 500 miles,i would run it back to the dealer to be on the safe side

Its going back for a service in 2 weeks, havent got a chance to get it there before hand, just wondering if its something simple I could fix in the meantime..

Interesting Vid, its sounds vagely like that actually, a bit queiter but I dont have it when at a standstill.

Will clutch rattle only happen when moving?

When im not moving the rattle stops which makes me think its either chain or brakes.

Hi all.

I have an odd noise coming from my Vara.

when riding along I can hear a grinding/chingling noise, sounds very similair to somebody jangling keys. I hear it most when riding past parked cars/walls etc which makes me think its coming from the side of the bike. Im thinking chain slack, how much slack am I meant to have when sitting on the bike at the loosest part of the chain?

Any ideas where else the sound could be coming from .

Its an 59 vara with 500 miles on the clock.

my new bikes only done 600 miles (09 plate) and sometimes when i drop quickly to first gear the drops very heavy.

bikes a yamaha ybr 125

seems normal if its the CLUNK into first.

My ybr did it and my brand new vara does it too.

Hi all.

Looking to get a top box for my 125 baby vara.

Was wondering, do I have to get a Honda one (to fit on the bracket thats already there) or will any one fit?

Also can anybody reccomend any?

Thanks all!

sporry to be blunt but If you've got money to burn then fine!

it's a total waste of time and effort on a 4stroke 125 that you can't tune or up performance buy ant real amount. basic maths will do just fine like the rest of us do on pretty much every factory machine on the plannet!

if it were a gsxr1000 or an blade then yeah spend the money, get it mapped, bore it out or bolt on nitrous then the unit could be usefull.

your better off spending the money on new helmet or traing to get ur das.

Each to their own tbh. Im happy on a 125.

Idiot light kicks in when 2.7 litres are still in the tank. Can't you use that.

as for engine power displays it might flash up "no very much"

I've got a link for the service manual on the works computer somewhere. I'll have a look and see if I can find it when I'm back in the office.

Yeah I will but its mostly for the other numbers.

heh yeah I thought thats about it would show up, I wonder If I can get the 0-60 time under 20 seconds

Yeah but the magic of the veypor is that it uses accelerometers, tach readings, and speed readings to estimate your fuel level and economy,

 

Its a bit OTT for a 125 though, i could understand you being into the figures for Track or Drag racing,. but you can still work out MPG or MP£ using the trip and the petrol receipt. and its doubtful you would see a return on the Veypor when it came to sell, probably more likely a loss on the bike as its not stock... (mileage accuracy etc..)

It is overkill but I like all the different numbers. + when I come to sell the bike I can just remove it...

independent reviews have it down to 2% accurate.

 

I would hope that that was accurate to within 2% ... 2% accurate is a weather forecast

HAH! I just noticed that typo

if theres no fuel guage on the bike then theres no sender, so no signal to tell you fuel level.

 

 

Yup that's what I was going to say.

A search in google will get you a wiring diagram too

yyeah but im also a stickler for numbers. I love to know all the different numbers etc. Makes me happy i no about the trip meter method. Im uisng it currently anybody have any idea about the wiring though?
