Bad Fit Silencer

<< < (3/4) > >>

Green1:
I have DSS 341's on my K1 The same pipe is close to the oil filter as yours and they just clear the front engine mount bolts and just clear the brake peddle.
I have always struggled to get the two right hand pipes on until today when I realised my rear mount had been bent.
Ten minutes with a block of wood and scissor jack soon had the frame straight again and they now go on with ease.

I have had that before, a bent rear foot peg right mount out by 4mm and the pipes on that side did not want to line up.

I spoke to DS today, they are sending Fedex to pick up the pipes tomorrow, they said they will try them on their bike to test, and suggesting that the frame is possibly bent, but if that is the case then surely pipes number 1 and 3 would also not fit, but they go on ok, anyway time will tell, fingers crossed.

Trigger:
If it  is ok on the left and having problems on the right, may be rear foot peg hanger bent  ;)

Green1:
There's no strength in the rear hanger at all it bent back easy.
I only realised it was bent as I thought I had better change the rear tyre and give the bike a Crick clean for next weekend.

I can now also confirm I have a small amount of rust starting on No1 pipe
