rs-5 question

hey i have a 04 600rr and i just got my yosh rs-5 installed today. its a slip on and it sounds great. the only thing that bothers me is that it sits crooked under the tail. nothing looks bent and everything is in the right place it just seems the clamp isnt holding it right i have no idea. any one else have this problem or any suggestions thanks

First check the clamp, if its only slighty off then grab hold of it with 2 hands and turn the can. Mine goes off centre the odd occasion because the springs holding it to the link pipe are crap. The above method works for me. Check the clamp right first though.

yah they usually are on most exhausts. closest to stock ive seen is devil.

well it doesent move and every looks nice and tight and the exhaust sits strait just off to the right. it just about touching the grey plastic part on the right but not even close to it on the left

Can one of you guys do me a favor... measure the band that holds the RS5 on. I'm finishing a license plate bracket and I need to know how wide (front to back) it is.

feedingfrenzy show me a pic so i can tell what you mean? ?

Yours anything like this? >>>>>>>>>>>







Don, My bikes right here with me in work I don`t have a tape to measure the band though, you want width and length? Cos length might be a problem with it fitted.

No... well, I need the width (from the front of the bike toward the back. so I know how long of a tab I can make. The length (side to side on the bike)... if you can, I'd like to know how wide of an area there is flat on the bottom of the RS5. I don't need the entire circumference of the band, just the bottom area where it's flat. Do you see where I'm going with this? I have, hopefully, a connection with a burn table. I'm going to make a to scale template on kraft paper with measurements and see if I can't have a few of stainless steel brackets cut out for me. This will produce a nice clean cut product and once the drawing is in the machine... the brackets can be made in minutes. If I make them by hand, I'll have to use aluminum.

hey anubis mine looks just like that but it just sits off the the right right under the tail ill try to get some pics today

Annubis,

What fender elim do you have on your bike? Does it just bolt on where the stock one was? and is there a space for signals to be mounted? I am leaning towards the Jardine one but yours looks trick too.

It`s the internals of the original Tail `Fender` Just take it off and remove all the gubbins from it your left with that. Holes there for stock or aftermarket Turn Signals if you wish. I bought some outdoor Vinyl and it now looks like this...........

Anubis,

looks good, do you have to have a light on the plate i am from canada so i am sure the law might be different......do cops hassle you alot for not having one? and with your aftermarket pipe did you have to put nething undet the tail for heat protection?

I don`t have a light on the plate but it would be really easy to do. I won`t need one till M.O.T test time here, which isn`t till the bikes 3 years old. Never had any probs with Po Po touch wood. With the can you get a stick on heat shield which i used when i installed it, never had an issue with heat or any similar probs.

Right Don, Sorry its took me so long to measure it but I a busy man ya know

Measures 7cm across the flat section of the can and the bracket is 3.5cm wide inc about 1mm of rubber its sat on.

yo mang...we in the US...you gots to covert that metric stuff mang!

so let me translate for anubis

"Measures 2.755906 inches across the flat section of the can and the bracket is 1.377953 inches wide including about 0.03937008 inches of rubber it's sat on."

on a separate note...that pix of the bike with the arse all up like that...mang...YOU BIKE IS SEXY AS HELL! HOT MAMA...WOOHOOO!

one more note...my buddy Jonathan Alexander who i met in Maine for grad school was from Liverpool...very heavy on the accent but it was cool, cause we all speak something different...Owen the crazy mofo and wife were Irish, Hooge straight up white bread Americanish, John was thug, and me whatevernese so it was all cool mang! I don't think anyone really understood anyone else but we all just nodded and drank and had a great time!

Hey Tahoe, I don`t wanna go there with all your measurements. They seem different to ours, atleast metric is a standard we can all measure I don`t have to much accent really, live on the outskirts so kinda a mixed tone I speak. All good.

Thanks for the numbers Anubis... and thanks for the translation Tahoe... now I have to translate to stupid American standard measurements.... about 2 3/4" side to side and about 1 1/4 front to back... thanks guys.
