Jardine Failure

[Bullettooth023]

Well I have a problem. I bought my XB9r about a month and a half ago. When I was changing the oil in it over Moto GP weekend I noticed the rear of the pipe was loose, rattling around, and had worn holes where the rivets hold it on. Friends of mine said it was because the packing blew out. I've been trying to price/find a replacement pipe without purchasing a whole new kit. I've emailed a guy at Jardine but that has led to nowhere. Any advice?

Buy a different exhaust or repack and replace rivets with larger stainless rivets.the aluminum ones suck.

Get one of these.

What set up is it?

 

[d_adams]

One I build. >> keda-design

 

[Bullettooth023]

I like the way it sounds, does it make more power or equal power to the Jardine?

 

[d_adams]

More power. Tuning is recommended though, highest so far out of a xb9 is maybe 86-87 hp at the wheel, 94+ on a 12 with a stock ecm.

My brothers jardine is cracking at the welds where the pipe exits the can, but he rides his bike alot and we live on a dirt rd. so...
you could say they just dont hold up to the vibration over the long term.

this keda-design pipe sounds and looks amazing.
i pmed you with some questions d.
thanks.
