My exhaust blew up! PICS

[Clone]

you could simply order a Jama replacement through your local parts can dealer or thiebault dealer. Should cost you all of $90 plus gst of course.

Until I could replace it with a V&H, I would cut up a half dozen aluminum soda cans, buy a couple of large hose clamps from the auto parts store and wrap the split with the soda cans and clamp them with the hose clamps. Just wrap about 4 layers of soda can around it. It should hold until you can get a replacement.

So c'mon guys! What do you reccomend?

[Billyboy]

OK! I think I got it. Pics to follow.

Canadian Tire muffler repair kit, cans, hose clamps. I think it'll work for a bit anyway.

I still think I'll get the crapper 4-1 ready. just in case.

What is the stock jetting on my bike? I'll see what's in the donor bike. Maybe it was jetted right...[-o<

[first timer]

got any more info on that parts bike exhaust?

Well, I hate to be the one to say I told you so, but what the he!!, clean that baby up, repaint and swap jets...then RIDE HER HARD!!!!! \\/

[first timer]

thats what i thought, looked like a old yosh pipe. Get that pipe cleaned up, and tear that motor apart lets see what you got in her? How about the carbs they stock or after market?

[Billyboy]

The carbs loof stock. There was no airbox. I'm thinking the PO likely rejet it or it wouldn't run worth sh!t.


What is stock jetting on a 78 GS1000? I'll compare that to what's in the donor bike carbs. I can't use the donor carbs. They were smashed in when I got it.

[Billyboy]

OK The main jets in the donor bike are all marked with an "R" then a small square in a larger square, 117.5.

The pilot jets are marked with the same double square thing and 15. They are the same across the rack.

BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN????

[Billyboy]

Keith helped me out in another thread. Stock jets are 95 and 15. I now have the yosh pipe installed and the 117.5 mains in. Seems to run ok. I'll give it a good thrashing tomorrow and if it doesn't blow up I'll check the plugs and see what they have to say.

BTW: My patch lasted 50KM's. 8-[

Sounds like a blessing in disguise to me. All works out right, and you'll be enjoying some extra power!
