Stubby exhaust

[Michael R1150GS Adventure]

Right then - just been looking at the 'wanted' section and spotted that you guys sometimes remove the can and pop a (homemade?) stubby pipe on.

Can anyone enlighten me as to the the NOISE my GSA would make and whether it affects the fuelling/set up as I want to make sure the fuelling is capable of adjusting itself correctly...

CHeers for any help people

What he said ...

... mine has gone through two MoT's with the stubby in place, no problem

The main advantage of running a stubby is that you can have same size panniers on each side of the bike.

oh yeah...

My touratech zegas will look pretty lop sided now!

Mind you, as I fell off grenn laning the other day they are lop sided anyway...

Got Cat/stubby set up on one of my 1150's, ...
sounds barely different to standard, I'm around 10 miles north of Durham if you want to hear it.

Mines been through 2 MOT's, and done about 10,000 miles, slightly ever so slightly louder. Can't say I ever noticed any change in fuel consumption, or performace. Just weighs quite a bit less, as you will find when you remove your silencer. I

No the main advantage is you dont have to spend ages cleaning it, like you do the origonal

Stubbies and water?

Does having a stubby on make any difference when you go through a ford?

The first one I hit my panniers took off the wing mirror... no probs.

However last week my exhaust did get stuck on the bumper so maybe a stubby would be a good idea!
