Subject: Information Exhaust RD04


Hi to all,

some weeks ago I postet a question regarding possible exchange exhausts for @
 rd04 and your experiences. There were only a few answers and so I decided to
 choose/test one on my own!!!!
I bought a Giannelli Exhaust. Price 399,-- DM at HG. EG-ABE is available. My
 first impression is that this exhaust (made out of v2a) is very heavy - nearly
 the same weight as the original one. I was very surprised, because the exhaust
 was mounted within 15 minutes - including the unmounting of my old exhaust -
 it is easy to fix to all the original points. Everything fittet very well
 including the old screws from the original exhaust as well as the extra parts
 (Hitzeblende - Ziergitter).
The exhaust has a much better sound than the original one and I think the
 power curve changed a little bit. I will test this on my next trip to Tirol -
 Austria.

In the last edition of Motorrad there was an offering fom Götz for a carbon
 exhaust. After having spoken to one of their technicians I decided not to buy
 this exhaust, because I was told that they had some problems with the carbon
 (according to the heat). But I was told too, that they are in direct contact
 with Africa Queens - who will test the exhaust for them - inofficial. Maybe
 there will be more information regarding this exhaust - talking to Africa
 Queens.

More information next time.

Keep your wheels on the road,


cheers,

Steffen
