Having recently got a NOS exhaust for my CL175, I wonder if there is any way that I can prolong its life ?
Obvious one is to make sure silencer is really hot before shutting down, to drive off moisture, not repeatedly doing cold starts without allowing it to get fully hot, make sure that the drain hole is clear.
Just wondering if spraying some sort of preservative / water dispersant ( ACF 50 etc ) up the tail pipe would work. Two stroke pipes seem to last forever ..
