Delkevic Exhaust pipe

<< < (2/3) > >>

Trigger:
Delkevic exhausts should come with a spring puller in the kit  ;)

OK for MotoGP and therefore a “must have” for any self-respecting modern biker.

My Tiger 660 doesn’t have one. Should I be upset?

No, I love mine Steve. I can take it off without disturbing the exhaust gaskets as the clamps stay on the cylinder head, I can then clean the downpipes, which I then polish on my polishing machine, can't do that with a one piece. I can do the 2 Y splitters, the downpipes and the link pipe all the same way. I use Harpic 10 to remove the staining as well. It's not a gimmick believe me.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Harpic 10 is that a pseudonym for some sort of specialist exhaust cleaner.

K2-K6:
Harpic has 10% Hydrochloric acid as active ingredient from my understanding of it.

Don't think you'd want it on chrome, but stainless system obviously different inntgat respect.

I think it's not Hydrochloric acid but its alkaline - sodium Hypochlorite (bleach active ingredient)- nasty stuff iirc - as a kid I mixed some Harpic with another cleaning solution forming Chlorine Gas in the bathroom! My dad went balistic.

Update: You are right Harpic contains HCl its Domestos I'm thinking of - totally different.
