696 rebuild - on the road & stage 2

[Raux]

That little shield on the horizontal cylinder pipe?

I've got one. No hardware though, used it for the CF one.

yep that's the one. pm sent.

[Raux]

started work on the horizontal and decided to cut up one of my extra 696 rear header pipes to reroute it. the stock curve is just too difficult to take back down under the motor. so not exactly the route i wanted, but still clean.

in fact, measured out the horiz cyl and this new rear routing will be the correct length anyway with only one connection instead of the funky two with a half moon routing i would have needed.

oh and remapped the PC V with the euro version termi with no db killer. so when I mount it, it will be be a close match to the changes. although with the true 2 into 2 I still need to get onto a dyno, but going to hold off til i do the port and polish and airbox changes.

the extra horiz shield i need is for the low pipe as it comes out near where my ankle would be at a stop light, the last extra horiz header I had sacrificed itself for that mount.

so it also looks like I'll have a 696 midpipe left over. I'll be putting that in the for sale section when I'm finished

I have the stock mounting hardware for the exhaust shield. Do you want silver, black, or titanium?

[Raux]

i just need the two clips and associated nuts bolts spacer washers

[Raux]

[thought]

Started IT up today in the shop. It's just evil. low thump thump thump on idle.

didn't even get past 1500k due to being nearly 11pm local

pics and videos hopefully tomorrow.

the shop owner and I looked at each other and smiled... then said.. where are those baffles

[Raux]

ok bike is home.

i definitely need the baffles... i swear you could hear this thing a few kilometers away at full throttle.

but for the first time i'm not hearing the rush of wind 

and man it is pretty. expect pics and videos tomorrow, it's 10pm here and i think i woke up 3 towns coming home.

Went for a ride. I had added the O2 modifiers from the PC V for now and hadn't put the whole PC V on. Basically they are the same as the FatDuc for the older bikes, telling the bike to run at 13.6 AFR as compared to stock which is more lean. BUT I think it's an issue with the new exhaust. At low throttle cruising for longer periods the engine liight comes on, if I sit and let it cool just a bit (O2 sensors I suspect) then there are no lights. And riding in twisties with throttle fluctuating, ie not always just sitting in the closed loop area, no light...

But here are the pics.

Nice work Raux.

Looks great!

Did you do the fab work yourself?



That heat shield should be there in a week or so depending on customs.

thanks guys.

I was nervous about this, so I kept a complete stock setup.

I did all the cutting on everything except the first ones on the top.
I don't know how to weld yet so the local guy did the welding, then I cleaned them up and designed the mounts, etc.


thanks for the shield. you can see why i need the third one.
