    Just started up the RR8 (58 plate) i bought the weekend and noticed when she had been running for a couple of mins no gases coming from the the larger (top port) of the stock exhaust..... quiet clearly when revving the engine the smaller port is releasing fumes but im just getting smoke drifting from the top one....... is that the norm ? other bike has akro on it so nowt to compare it with ???

    As I see it, the flap does not open till 4000 revs so that's probably why your not getting anything?
    Hope that helps?

    Well thats ok then, i havent taken her out yet as she was a bit tatty when i got her and needs a little TLC first, im gonna fit aftermarket exhaust anyhow in the long term....but it just seemed a bit odd lower port was releasing exhaust gases only, thx for that.......

    disconnect the cable Rob. That opens the top flap permanently. Bit more noise too!

    No probs Rob.
    I would need to see the Envy lift first.
    My design is specifically aimed at my Constands power lift.
    I need to know the size and pitch of the mounting holes.
    Have you really still not got it yet?!

    I think "virtual" stands would be more appropriate Rob, or "pay your money and don't get anything for three months" Stands - rolls off the tongue doesn't it. LOL
