SOURCE: new bike coming home tomorrrow,

Most bikes seem to have O2 sensors these days and I'd say it's pretty likely you will have one. They are easy to find, just follow the pipes from the motor all the way to the exhaust and you will find it, they aren't small. A bit like a big spark plug usually with 4 wires coming off it.

It won't stop you using a slip on unless the slip on replaces the part of the pipe containing the sensor. A decent exhaust however should have a plug in it so you can install the O2 sensor if required.

The problem comes when you try to get it running spot on for the new pipe. Some sensors are just used to lean off the mixture during cruise and part throttle operations. For these ones you can usually get a kit that will plug in to the loom instead of the sensor and it will "trick" the ECU into thinking the reading is fine and no change is necessary. This will allow you to add a power commander or other fuel control type device and tune the engine accordingly.

I have fitted the Leo Vince sbk exhaust in my Yamaha xmax 250 and when it heats up it backfires and shuts off help me please

the chip in your ECU needs to be updated as it controls the fuel and air mix so you have more air from your exhaust ,contact the dealer for more information.

Exhausts

I know this may sound rather stupid but my father has bought a brand new bike and he only intend to use it on our farm. Now the trouble is that neighbours complaint about the noise from the bike and we have asked the dealer if it was possible to get a more quieter exhaust, but he just said that you only were able to get exhausts that increase noise. So what we need is a exhaust which is less noisy (The standard one is direct flow, or what you call it) and one that doesn't sacrifice too much of the power. You can hear it miles away I love it, but my father tells me to only put a maximum of half throttle when I ride it, which is a little boring Can you help me ? , As for a quieter exhaust for your bike, your dealer wasn't very knowledgeable on the subject. While most aftermarket exhausts do increase noise, there are some to help decrease as well, without saraficing power. I can think of a couple over here in the US, but I'm not sure if you get many distributors for our stuff over there. There's also a European exhaust manufacturer that comes to mind, which is Leo Vince. And four-stroke exhausts aren't exactly cheap. Some ones that you could look into are: -FMF Powercore IV Q2 (around 96db) *slip-on* -Pro Circuit Type 496 (I'm not sure around what db level this is, but I know that the body is longer and it uses a special packing to help reduce noise) *slip-on* -Leo Vince X3 (every leo vince exhaust includes inserts for 99 and 96db, and also a spark arrestor) *full exhaust*,,,
