I'm kind of noticing something here, but want to make sure.  Is the Spark Mid pipe the same pipe for both 800 and 1000 S2R's? Or do you have to order one depending on engine size?

I notice that for the 1000's the pipe seems to be closer to the motor than the 800. Can someone here post a pic of their ride from the side with both 800 and 1000?

Check out RB's 800, then look at SPINNED's 1000 bike.


Thank you.

I just answered my own question. After looking around, yes they are different mid pipes from 1000 to 800.

Personally I think the Spark looks best on the S2R, it has a cleaner look on the right side. The Marving has that weld tab to hold on to the bike. I rather have it on the left side like the Spark...  The Marving Mid-pipe does look pretty sweet for the S4RS.  waytogo

spark did have one with the small pipe for the forward cylinder separate that could be used on the 1000 or the 800 (and plug the O2 sensor)

I think the one on my bike is loke JEFF_H is talking about - it came in two pieces, with a little stub header for the forward cylinder separate from the main pipe. It looked identical to the picture stopintime put up of the pipe on his 800, but fits my 1000 no problem. Maybe there was a model that was interchangable.

Just to sort of confirm that, when I look at the stopintime pic I see his 800 pipe has the O2 bung, even though I dont think the 800's had a sensor. Kinda makes you wonder why they'd put that there if the pipe was only designed to fit the 800 alone.

My bike is/was a Euro 3 emisssions standards bike/engine. It came with a sensor.

What I realy want to know is which pipe has a clearance problem with the oil screen? I know the drain plug on some pipes is an issue.
If all goes as planned I will be selling my Spark soon to replace it with a complete system.

I know the DP stuff allows you to access everything.  The oil screen is a snug fit, but i was still able to get it off and on w/o a problem during oil changes.  No probs w/ the drain plug at all.

do you have the first or second generation DP pipe? IIRC the first gen blocked access to the screen

2nd gen.  I heard the same things about the 1st gen pipes blocking the screen, so I waited.  Any DP midpipe you get now will be 2nd gen (I think).
