HELP HELP! Exhaust problem

Hi all. Hope someone can help! I've just started to fit a jardine rt-1 exhaust n wanted to keep the heat shield but don't no if I can, mounted it up n it's rubbing/catching....as anyone else had this problem??? Also is it ok to do away with the heat shield!

Please help as I'm losing hair lol.

Cheers steveid

 

Sorry meant to say its a RR5 model.

 

Don't think you can keep it with the jardine. Mate of mine has the same can an he ditched it. Although he didn't want to keep it anyway.

He's not had any problems not having the shield fitted although if you carry a pillion they may get a little warm!

 

Cheers mate for getting back. I'll make a brew n crack on.

 

Good luck. Pics up when it's done and a video!

 

Will try to mate, not sure how lol

 

I've had to melt both lowers and have removed all the heat-shields on my RR6 when I fitted the Arrow system. No big deal, really and I think it looks 'cleaner' with it all gone.

 

I have got my heat shield removed and have no problems. the tail looks much nicer without it.

 

I removed the heat shield when I fitted my Akrapovic. To avoid cooking my arse (and avoid cooking my baccy under the pillion seat!) I fitted some sticky-back heat-shield material, which I stuck directly to the underside of the undertray.

The fitting instructions for the Scorpion exhaust shows how to do this, and includes a handy template to help you cut the correct shapes out of the heat-shield material: click for PDF

Plenty of people say its not necessary (and they're probably right) but nonetheless, I feel better knowing I'm not going to be toasting my tobacco whilst I'm out riding

 

Thanks everyone for getting back to me. It's on looks great BUT don't think I like the sound....bit to load.

 

That was the same for me on my 2010 the RT5 was just obscenely loud and I hated it to be honest. I bought the baffle for it as well but that made it sound worse! I ended up with the yoshi R77 on mine and that's loud as well but with the baffle in its perfect for me.

What you gonna do?

 

Now now!

The rt5 was tacky loud (as you say) on my 2010. It was very harsh and sounded rough. I'm guessing this is the same!

Annoying really as my mates Daytona 675 sounds the nuts with his Jardine!

 

I'll leave it on for now n see what turns up on here or eBay!

 

Does look the nuts, sits in the hole perfectly. It sounds nice not tacky lol...just to load!!

 

It's defo for sale just need to sort another one out first. Give me your number n I'll ring you about it.
