jedibiker Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 She runs.. Had a little issue with neutral sensor wire, unrelated to the install but replaced that anyway. Apart from a few tweeks she should be fine.. There is a little tick noise but its yet to run properly and I need to top oil up and nip up exhaust after its had a warm up etc. Cam chain tensioner seemed ok, chain was tight but could be a thing for the future if tick continues. But happy enough for now.. cheers for the support. (sounds more of a tick on phones than the mac) https://www.dropbox.com/s/0e1h4gzz89ouao6/20210328_154258.mp4?dl=0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely out of curiosity , do you have any idea what make this thing is ? No but after searching the net it seems many forums are riddled with issues on the fazer with aftermarket pipes. It seems some go down straighter than needed and leave a tiny bit of room that the filter would not fit through even if you did manage to unscrew it. its not like its a great exhaust either as it rusts badly. My bandit has stainless pipes and I can get to the filter easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @fastbob, Remember the old Piper Systems, the one for the Yamaha XJ550 you had two problems 1 filter couldn't be removed, 2 don't try riding over speed bumps!!!!! Ground out totally!! And also some early Vance & Hines systems, when you had the large filter under engine, as on Kawasaki Z1100R, like this one. 4 into 2 went either side, 4 into 1 went across filter housing!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't remember what the arrangement was on my Z 1000 ST . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Frog Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I didn`t remember the ST with a swoopy tank I was thinking of the green slab side released at the same time as the first Z1300. Glad I hadn`t met that one I would have wanted it! Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the ST model was shaft drive, hence I don't think they sold very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
