So I made an offer on the ebay listing and got the new exhaust for the CL175.
Any tips for the installation?
Any maintenance items I ought to address while I have the old one off?
I am struggling to see exactly how the system is supposed to mount; the online parts diagrams are not clear (or consistent) and the shop manual is also vague in that section:
- for the connection at the cylinder studs, is it just a nut, or is there a flat and lock washer required? I see it both ways in different diagrams. The ones I removed had a flange nut, which I doubt was stock.
- is there supposed to be a mounting point in the middle, near the left air cover? It looks like from the diagrams that there may be, but the old pipes were only connected at the cylinder head and the rear mount. I can't see how / where they might attach in the middle (though there is a bracket on the pipes themselves).
Any input would be much appreciated. I will post some pics of the new pipes later - they are very nice, better than I hoped.
