Hi just hoping someone might be able to give a bit of advice...
Been today to see a xb12s 2008 great bike and the owner looks like he's looked after it. He mentioned the exhaust "blows" a bit when riding (he was speaking french, me english so didn't quite get it all)... i started it up and it sounded ok but didn't have time to take it for a ride - hopefully can do next week.
I've done a search and seen that the the remus 2008 comes in a euro model (i'm in europe) with an extra weld-on plate to prevent breakage. It didn't seem broke but then again i didn't know about the weld in triangle when i was looking. He seemed to indicate where the headers go into the single pipe on muffler top. My thinking is the thing looked a bit dirty, worn, probably has worked its way loose and he's never got to actually tightening the strap up around the pipe. So thinking it is not a problem. Everything else looks ok.
Sound about right? Or does anyone have experience with the wrong remus for 2008 being fitted and breaking. Don't really want the first thing to be a pipe replacement.
Any help, info, much appreciated!
