I couldn't wait...  Here's a bad picture from their site:

Here's the spec sheet on the can...

I don't think my hearing can tolerate peak power at 160,000 RPM.

"E" = E and "F" = F...And from basic knowledge they are two different letters, which symbolize two different model bikes. And from my little time spent readins the site  "E" and "F" model bikes ARE NOT the same.

That one will fit the F model. The headers do not merge before the bend where the pipes go under the bike. The bend down, then merge into the collector which means they will clear the oil pan bolts.

463 Euro, apparently. The E model's is 289 Euro. The E's should work for the F, according to the picture.

wow that muffler looks restrictive.

Someone send me a full stock exhaust so I can make a new one.

Alpha?

Dude, you missed it. I just hacked my muffler and sent everything else to a guy on the board. Last week. Bummer.

GS exhausts are pretty cheap. No one really wants them, so they can be had for fairly cheap. Shipping on them is a Buddha Loves You though.

Post by: makenzie71 on March 01, 2006, 05:45:45 PM
actually the one I'd make would be a 3 piece assembly...and it'd be light...chipping would be cheap.  I just need someone's stock exhaust to build a jig for it.

That's basically the thing...someone needs to send me a full stock exhaust...preferably an F exhaust...and I'll build them a new one for cost of materials.  If it rocks then I'll offer it as a service.

As a matter of fact they should. The E bolts to the F just fine, so I'd imagine it works the other way around, too.

Nah, the fairings wouldn't be an issue. They are pretty much the same pipes, just the F model has a bigger pipe coming out after the collector.

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b123/AlphaFire_X5/GSTwin/GSEheaders/Picture003.jpg)

You can see that the fairings wouldn't come into play with the E exhaust on there.

What's the inlet size on the stock muffler?

I'm looking at making the collector and new muffler 57~60mm with 45mm runners off the ports.

I don't even know how to measure. Stock F or stock E? I can measure the F tomorrow evening if you tell me what to do.

Just hold up a ruler to it and give me your best guestimate of the OD...and yeah, for the F.

found it...muffler inlet is roughly 52mm.

that laser exhaust looks alot like the stock with a different badge.  Can anyone tell from specs whats different.  That dyno they have on there site cracks me up.. 160,000 rpm gets you 41 horse?  i thought my stock bike hit 43 horse at 8,500 rpm? lol.

100 is practically the top speed. Why do you NEED to go faster than that? The basic mods are filter, exhaust, and jetting. If you want a higher top speed you'd be better off just buying a higher powered bike. Just live with a top speed of 100, you don't need to go faster than on the street really. Save the racing for the track.

Mak, I'll drop you a PM.

Title: Re: finnally a exhaust for the gs500f
Post by: makenzie71 on March 01, 2006, 09:50:34 PM
Mostly it's jetting and impropper tune.  To get these low displacement bikes up to an exciting speed you need to have a really healthy bike.

Top speed is roughly 115 indicated, which means it's really about 103 actual.

I thought the E model exhausts would NOT fit an F cause of the oil cooler bolts...

Makenzie - Your offer is SOOOOOOOOO temping!  But alas...  I'm back in school, so my full time job is supporting my part time school... :cry:

That's what I thought too until I took my old '92 exhaust and stuck it onto my bike. The only reason the aftermarket ones don't fit is because the two pipes merge before bending down under the bike. The stock ones bend, then merge.

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b123/AlphaFire_X5/GSTwin/FS_yoshpipe3.jpg)

See how the pipes come together and then bend down together? That hits right where the oil bolts are.

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b123/AlphaFire_X5/GSTwin/GSEheaders/Picture011.jpg)

The stock E exhaust on an F has the same shape, allowing the pipes to clear the oil pan bolts.

Post by: fettcols on March 01, 2006, 10:37:48 PM
A long time ago somebody on the board tried to mount a cobra f1 slip-on designed for an E onto an F model. If I remember right there was a difference in diameter of the two pipes.

That was when the F first came out and I believe about the same time srinath started making flanges.

Post by: makenzie71 on March 01, 2006, 10:39:08 PM
my exhaust would merge under the bike.  I like longer runners.  You have to wring the piss out of shorties to really utilyze they're power-delivery and the GS isn't that kind of bike.

Eh, I refer to the oil cooler as the system of the cooling radiator, the hoses, the bolts, and the oil pan. It's the oil cooling system. The oil pan is at the bottom of the engine and the bolts holding the lines there are what get in the way.

Right, I understand what you mean. I wasn't near a picture so I couldn't picture where the oil cooler that comes on the F models was mounted. That could have caused an exhaust clearance issue if it were low enough, but I think it's up and out of the way.

I just was making sure that person's question and your answer were on the same page.

If you want a bike to go fast in a straight line just get a bigger bike. Nitrous will tear apart your GS engine. Best quarter is 13.7 as done by one of the motorcycle mags. Noob dragers can get roughly mid 14s.
