Returning to the Stock pipe

JohnnyBoxer · Aug 14, 2005

Went out for a quick blast today and decided that I'm fed up with coarse throb........throb and excessive noise of the Dakar, with the Staintune on (baffle in)

The bike sounds nice..............but the noise gets on my tits (and everyone elses, I suspect)

Does the bike run better with the stock set up on..........I suspect so and read/heard somewhere, that the 650GS was faster on the stock pipe, than any aftermarket set up.

Does the 650GS run leaner with an aftermarket pipe...........any evidence?

You said it before me...........Dave :clap

My thoughts exactly.............too tight for all that malarkey

Anyhow, swapped back to stock twin pipe system last night (45 mins of abuse in the garage) and went for a ride........much better - quieter and faster - managed a run of 106mph - prone.....not bad for a fat bastard !

Anyway somebody want to make a sensible offer for the Staintune,pics if required

Somebody will go for it, especially on Ebay..............at least i'm honest Dave

Or it can adorn the garage wall and gather dust........it'd make a pretty ornament........very nice polished Stainless Steel !!

Jonny,

Will they fit an 05 Dakar? If so let me know what you want for them.

Thanks

Not if yours is a Twinspark 650...........because the Header pipe is a larger diameter on the Twinsparks, over the Single Sparkers
