Please be gentle guys want to replace standard can with something better , help..... my mechanical skills are limited , its a 07 model is it just a case of remove and replace , had a look under the seat and i see a box with wires coming out of it on the standard exhaust .... help please don't want to spend a lot on exhaust and not be able to fit it cheers gray
The cable runs to a wheel that operates the butterfly valve [under the riders seat] just remove cable and turn back the small wheel to its original postion, that way you wont get a F1 error on the dash. its a simple job mate.
I think on the 07 the flap is on the headers so replacing the silencer for a slip on should just be a straight swap and leave the cable where it is
Yeah you are right mate its just down from the silencer , near the link. Gray.... Just do as fisher said and detach it but make sure you wind the servo back
thanks guys but !!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry for being stupid you say turn the valve to its original position , but if i replace the exhaust won,t this box be removed :frusty: like i said im no machanic
Yep the box gets removed, but under the riders seat you will see a small wheel that turns 90% when the butterfly valve is open, just make sure you take a note of its original position, remove stock exhaust, disconect the cable from the end piece, replace with aftermarket, then turn the wheel back to its original position, the small wheels stays on the bike mate [under the riders seat]
no mate the cable goes into the bike and attaches to a servo . Disconnect from there and remove the cable with the standard can
When i did my 04 blade I just left the cables attached, just cable tied them up in a position they were free to move. No Fi error and saves the hassel of removing them.
right guys , as i warned........ ya had a look today couldn,f find a wheel under seat , also do i have to remove the rear seat fairing to get at standard exhaust. sorry for the stupidity but don,t want to mess up my pride & joy think it might be a dealer jobbie for me
Where abouts are you mate, i'd be more than happy to help putting an exhaust on. I fitted a full system and a PCV to mine a few weeks ago, it's quite simple!
You'll have to take the indicators mounts off [plastic shields] it would be far easier if you removed the whole seat unit mate, its a dead easy job, you can then trace the butterfly cable back to the servo then. By the way take the aluminium heat shield off also, they look much better without it
It's in a little box under the rear of the bike. Did you look at then link I posted above? http://1000rr.co.uk/mods-upgrades-accessories-products/1230.htm#post13215

It was nice meeting you today gray, you didn't hang around putting that on mate. Hope your happy with it, I can't believe you turned up before I got chance to give it better clean tho! How much louder did it make it over standard, I only ever knew mine with it fitted.
