GK stock exhaust

[FreshStart]

Can i remove just the mufflers of my exhaust to access things behind it, or does the whole system have to come off?

[RedBaron]

don't think so if I remember my stock ones. i used to just pull off the shocks to access the axle and stuff

The mufflers should unbolt. There should be a clamp at the base.

The parts fiche shows them as one piece from 1 and 4 all the way to the back.

The only removable parts are the down pipes for 2 and 3.

No, the mufflers do not come off separate. You have to take off the entire exhaust system.

That's just silly. I stand corrected.

Virtually all of the GSes that I have worked on that had stock exhaust systems were that way.

The only difference was the presence (and type) of the crossover pipe on the '80-and-newer bikes.

this is actually WHY i need to remove the exhaust. how did you remove the bottom nut?

lol I was basing it on the fact that all the GS's I've worked on were all separated systems. I still have the stockers from my 79 an 81 750's sitting in the garage...four primaries, a crossover box, two mufflers.

Unbolt the top and then you'll be able to raise or lower the swingarm to access the bottoms.
