Hi Fuchs

Can you let me know if the metal mule exhaust is a larger diameter than the stock? I have hepco and becker pannier frames and i'm trying to work out if the metal mule can with clash with them. If it doesnt stick out any further than the stock I should be fine.

Thanks mate

Ben

hey,
the can is bigger then the originals but it does not hav the extra shield and it sits a lot more to the middle of the bike. with this the outside of the can sits much more to the middle of the bike. i never tried some panniers but would say that you got more place with the metal mule system then with the stock system.


as we talked about heat.
the carbon heat protection part is fit with 3screws like we talked about. under each of these 3 screws are some rubber-papperstuff rings. these rings/shims seems to not like heat really well. i made that big tripp over the last weekend -1500km in ca 2days on small roads and enduro roads and sometimes the bike got quite hot with the system glowing in the front like it can happen sometimes on these bikes.
after a time i saw that 2 rings already were gone and last one was broken in 3 pieces but still there. i almost lost the screws as they were not sitting tight without the rings. i now fitted the screws without the rings wich seem to work without a problem.

not a big thing but it wouldnot be nice to loose the carbon protector

Any of you guys have trouble removing the lambda sensor? Got my MM system a few days ago and only just attempted to remove the old stuff. Everything came off pretty easy but I'm having a real hard time with the sensor.

Edit: In addition to the above, I just noticed when running the bike without the sensor with the new exhaust installed that gas is escaping from where the smaller front pipe section joins the main section (the join thats covered by the carbon heat shield. Is this normal? All the front nuts for the front pipes are tight. It's not a massive amount and the bike is only idling, don't want to rev it without the lambda sensor attached.

Im having the EXACT same problem with gas escaping from where it should join. I also had alot of problems mounting it because of a minor leftover from the welding of the inside of the pipe. I sent some e-mails to paul earlier this week..

I dont think it should be like this, you pay alot of money for a working product. Not for something that "kind of" fits and just leaks some..

Actually all sorted now! Still getting a bit of air from that joint but I don't think it's worth worrying about. Finally got the sensor out by buying a monster of a wrench and it was easy as to install again.

This exhaust is LOUD, my neighbours are going to like me much less now haha. Am overall happy with the product though, I can definitely feel the difference in weight in the bike and the sound is night and day compared to the stock system.

How did you sort it?

Theres still a bit of air coming from that join section but not enough for me to worry about mate.

I have just ordered a MM 2 into 1...
Found it cheaper to get it from the UK
than Austraila..saved 200 notes..
I have lowered my bike 50mm so should
gain the ground clearance back with a
high system..
Better look into a bash plate...

Who did you order from? I was just looking at getting one as well. I noticed the Australia price is over $250 more than the UK so with shipping it sounds about spot on. Did you get it directly from MM? I am stuck between this exhaust and the OTR full system, or the OTR header w/ Akrapovic can.

EDIT.. I just added one to the basket on MM's website, it came to 571.40 AUD shipped, I was quoted from an Aussie online store $820 shipped. I really don't understand how their can be such a massive difference.

I ordered it from Metal Mule.. $780NZ shiped

The out fit in Austraila... Adventure Moto... $1009NZ shiped

looks as you had around a $200 diffrents as well..
figger that one... dammed if I can..

Also ordered a screen the other day.. It was cheapest out of the UK aswell...
