Tigger, Question about exaust location

derf · 09-09-2009, 09:49 PM

I saw this in the thread about the new Rossi edition R1. The first thought in my mind was great place to put an exaust, the second thought I had was if the exaust location was possibly heating up the right side of the tire and brake at all?

Reason I as is that I had a car that had the exaust in front of the left rear tire, and that tire wore down 3x as fast as the rest of the tires.

Talk about fucking loud! It reminds me of my V-Max after I put Cobra slip-ons on it. Almost like a V-8.

Interesting question... I don't know but I would surmise that it doesn't since the swing arm is solid there if I'm not mistaken which would block most of the heat IMHO. I'll ask him though...

BTW just noticed, is he scraping exhaust when hitting hard right-handers? Or is that just cosmetic from previous owner/bike?

Be no different than the exhaust on the 1125r if I see the pic correctly on my phone

He takes it to the track but I'm not sure what the scrapes are from. I was guessing that maybe it stuck out more previously...

We're riding this weekend, so I'll find out. It doesn't look possible from where I sit but maybe...

No its more directly in front of the face of the tire, the 1125r comes out the side, at speed you might get a little warm fumes hitting the tire, but most of it will just get blown away. Tiggers friends looks like it dumps on the riding face of the tire.

Mine exits directly onto the left side of my tire. No noticable difference.

And while I know that it'll be putting out hotter gas while the revs are up, you can usually put your hand over the outlet of most exhausts and it's not "that" hot. I would think that the wind created would draw the heat away..

I think it is exiting out enough from the riding face.
The drummer is not much different..

Not to mention, again, that the swing arm is between the exhaust and tire on the R1
