Aftermarket pipe
« on: April 22, 2014, 07:59:52 pm »
Where should I look for a slip on aftermarket pipe for my DRZ?

The local Suzuki guy can order me a Leo Vince for R4 200, is that good? I also contacted Scorch in Ctn, but they want to keep my bike for 2 weeks. First prize will be a Yoshimura, but they seem very expensive and difficult to get hold of.

Order an oval cannister from Cowley. R1500 last year. Then take it to an exhaust shop to make up a stainless steel connection pipe for another R400- R500. Re-jet the carb. If FCR carb you are looking at 162 - 168 main jet. Cowley does two lengths for the oval cans - the one in this pic is the longer option of 470mm and deliberately fitted at that angle.

Full system Yoshi if you are rich and power hungry.

If you only want to make noise I don't know :-\

Thanks  :thumleft:  It looks like I may be able to get my hands on a used Cowley. what does "162 - 168 main jet" mean, anything in-between 162 and 168, or must I replace the 162 with a 168?

162, 165 or 168. Main jets for these FCR's are numbered that way i.e. 140, 142, 145, 148, 150 etc.
My 462 eventually ran spot-on here in PE with a 168 main, but some American riders report having to use 175 or even 178's.
Remember richer is safer than lean jetting. The latter burns valves.
