Back on a GS

[Comfy Old Boots]

Picked this up over the weekend. Pleased so far. There's a few things that need sorting but overall she's very clean

One thing though, it has a remus exhaust and I really don't like it. Lot's of noise but no appreciable performance benefit.

Does anyone have a standard exhaust muffler for sale? It does not need to be mint but in nice condition would be a bonus.

See you on the road

I have the standard can in great condition.....

Pm incomming!

 

[Comfy Old Boots]

Pm incoming!

Actually scratch that, you don't seem to have Pm's.

How much are you looking for?

Also, how much is a remus titanium worth? It's in very good condition.

I have one already!

Might just hold onto it for the moment in case I miss the noise!

 

[airhead_eire]

Cheapest one on eBay is £45 GBP + postage.
I'd say €30 and you're good to go !

 

[Comfy Old Boots]

Perfect.

My number is o ate six three five four three seven two six. Perhaps you could give me a bell over the next few days and we can figure this out.

 

[airhead_eire]

Will do. What's the best time to get you ?

 

[Comfy Old Boots]

Well, I'm working until late tonight so any time tomorrow that suits you!

 

[Comfy Old Boots]

Hi Airhead Eire, I think I missed a call from you a short while ago but no message. Phone was on silent, it's now at full volume!

 

[Comfy Old Boots]

Thanks for the tip about the rear brake caliber.

Remus exhaust work fine with a Remus baffle. Non give any performance boost unless the cat is removed. Even then it needs a remap or power commander to benefit

 

[Comfy Old Boots]

Heap of shite it's turned out to be so far. I've gotta replace the bevel box. Ffs.

On the positive. Engine is good and it's very lacking in corrosion. I wish to note that it's not a necessarily positive feature. There's a double negative for you!

the seller is gonna me a few quid so it's ok but damn. Another rough GS purchase. Buyer beware and I'm obviously an easy touch.

Anyone bought Fifa for the Xbox one?

[Comfy Old Boots]

I'm holding onto the remus for the moment but want a standard can too until I can get it mapped.

Bought a bevel box today...

 

[Comfy Old Boots]

All better now.

He's huffin Now John its all gone quiet down in Dub ....

 

[Comfy Old Boots]

Howdy, yes all is well with the world. It's quiet in Dublin because I've hardly been off it all weekend! What a great bike! A few niggles but I'll get those sorted in due course. First off is the chicken strips...

In terms of the spin back, I had a grand spin but started to get tired half way home (amazing how much random side roads deteriorate into rutted tracks if you investigate them) so I joined the motorway and tucked in behind what I thought was a steady Eddie and when I got home the whole front of the bike including myself was covered in oil. That car must have been spraying oil on me for a good few miles. Anyway, it's going to stay dirty. Looks better that way!

The one thing I need to do is to 'de polish' the seat. I used some vulcanet wipes on it recently and its slippier than a knob of butter at the moment.
