Any advice on getting the 5mm allen bolts removed to access my EXUP cables? This thing don't want to budge and of course i don' t want to strip it. I would really hate to take such a simple task to the dealer since they have high-speed tools.
Maybe I can just ride there and ask them to break the bolts for me then do the rest of the work myself
What I did was spray the bolts with PB Blaster and let it sit overnight. The next day they break loose without a problem.
I didn't bother with my Akra. The popping isn't too loud and I reckon it sounds pretty cool on my naked FZ1.
Copperdawg's videos are awesome for showing you how to mod the bike.
I blocked the air entrance to the AIS until I get a chance to remove the unit and use block off plates.
Same here. I'm waiting until it is time to change the plugs for the first time, then I'll remove the AIS and add the block off plates before doing the plugs. Blocking it accomplishes the same task as removing it. Removing it is merely aesthetics and to make it easier to change the plugs.
Ok Muffler is on, HOWEVER, I can't seem to get that stupid muffler clamp lined up with the passenger foot peg, I thought maybe the pipe needed to be turned a defferent angle so I tried. I think I have ran out of different angles to try. I haven't tightened anything as yet. Suggestions?
I had mine loose fitted (also a Two Bros) and after twisting everything into a comfortable position, everything seemed to fall into place. The clamp around the can did have to be "persuaded" a little to line up perfectly but a little bit of bending at the tabs and it bolted up.
Be sure to leave the transition pipe really loose and save putting on the clamps for the can to pipe for last. Once you get the bolt inserted for the can to passenger peg bracket and the nut on the back, then go twist the transition pipe until the can is lined up and the center stand hits where you want it to. Tighten the end at the header. Put the clamps on the pipe/can end and start to tighten. Save the can to passenger clamp tightening for last. Good luck!
One last thing. What do I do with the Ultra Black RTV asket maker? Nowhere in the instruction did it say where or when to use that? Hope I don't have to take it all apart again
