Currently giving the tenere a little attention after its recent little adventure....and also thinking fuck...more money to spend..pegs,shock,silencer,build spare engine...when it occured to me I had a 2011 Kawasaki kxf 450 silencer knocking around with a small dent in end cap..
As we all know motocross types don't need much of an excuse to change exhaust in the hunt for increased performance,as if a modern 450 isn't fast enough to wobble round in c group at southern motocross?...
I ended up with this silencer last year after mate decided the wheels would not go around if it didnt have a dep carbon silencer on the kxf...
I did start the utilise an r6 silencer last year but it was heavy needed a mid pipe making and I ended up throwing my spanners out of my pram and chucking it in the scrap..
Today I offered the kxf one up and thought bloody hell,wrap up....it almost fits the tenere,I've chopped a couple of inches off the joint area,the tenere fibre ring part fits inside and fits over my header pipe,the centre mounting lines up,it clears the sidepanel easily and just required the rear bracket trimming and a mounting plate,I've used a yz 125 front engine mounting plate for the moment,but will get Pete that's clever to mak me a nicer one next week..
Apologys for the state of the bike,its plastered in shit and its been fucking freezing since got back...
Started up just now and I was surprised how quiet the thing is?..it has a bit more of a bark when you crank th throttle open,but seems like a good result..not ridden it yet as no rear shock in it at moment..
