    installing the Madd exhaust.

    That was the suggestion from manufacture if I chose to do so. They say the o2 sensor bungs are too long to slide on from rear, machine down or they will send new ones. They don't machine those three notches. Still waiting after I pointed out the other manufactures have the notches too.

    installing the Madd exhaust.

    I ordered the Madd exhaust from the company in Denmark. Took 6 weeks to show and they won't fit. Has anyone here installed these? What did you use for flange/collar? I contacted them and evidently, they haven't installed a set either. They say the collar/flange slides on from rear, this is not...

    Gate valves in exhaust header pipe.

    It will be slightly louder at idle basically. Not a lot, those valves are closed at idle and open progressively with throttle opening. You will hardly notice a difference. If you want to try without the servo buddies you can disconnect the cables. To do this you pull the covers exposing them...

    Poll about Final Drive (Bevel Gear) Oil Spillage on the rim and tyre

    Wow must be a bad leak, mine leaves no puddle. Must only leaks during use. I took it to the dealer a week ago for inspection. Still waiting to see how they approach it. Mine had seal replaced at 1900 miles but leak persists. I suspect a problem with the breather personally. I make my assumptions...

    Vendors of Slip-on exhaust for the R18

    On my end I did remove the exhaust flapper valves. This made a difference on idle sound and slow speed cruising. At-least you can hear it, I have many close encounters with cage drivers just not hearing me. I take extra measures to not be in someone's blind spot. That's just safe riding, on the...

    Vendors of Slip-on exhaust for the R18

    I tried that but couldn't take the noise. Rode up the street turned around went back and removed them. I ordered the Madd exhaust last week. They say 6-8 weeks to be built.

    The reverse saga.

    This is where I'm at also. The recall was done but dealer dragging feet on compensation. Said will get back with me once they figure it out

    Unit Garage Exhaust

    You can polish them yourself if so desired. Really not too difficult wet sand with fine grade. I start with 400 then switch to 800 and metal polish to finish. I like a polish called white diamonds but simi chrome and others will also work.

    Reverse recall = RSD covers

    Did the shop give rebate immediately?

    Anyone else or just me Final Drive/Gearbox leak?

    A dealer is looking at mine now as leak is getting worse every ride. Mine was resealed once but continues to leak. I lowered the oil level as suggested with no success. should know what they're going to do soon I hope as the stripes on tire are getting heavier.
