Danmoto install

[FastZ8]

Do I need the gasket out of my stock pipe to install a danmoto jisu? I got it out but it doesn't seem to fit?

What gasket? Should be as simple as taking stock slip on off and sliding the new one on.

I don't believe so... I did not and I do not believe anyone else has either. Did not know it even came out.

You shouldnt need anything out of the stock pipe. Just pull off stock, slide on Danmoto, tighten clamp. It was my first mod and i did it so you can definitely do it.

I'm not really having a problem I just wanted to know if I needed a crush gasket

Are you doin it right now? Bummer its too cold to ride.

 

[FastZ8]

Yeah I've got the bike in my boxed in porch workin on it....too cold n the garage.

I've got a jisu...how should I position it..? Flat side to swing arm or does it matter clearance wise?

Are you thinking about how exhaust flanges for cars work? Because cars definitely need gasket to prevent exhaust leakage. With slip on tubing, I think it's just clamp and go.

Hey man howd it come out. Got any pics.

 

[FastZ8]

Everything came out good I just have one question...in mine there is a gap between the top of the exhaust and the hanger that I can't close I am wondering if anyone has had any issues with it rubbing swing arm at all?....I just tried to get a pic but its crap quality bc it's dark I'll get one tm.

I only have about 1/4 inch gap from the exhaust to the swing arm and the pin for the rear peg is almost setting on the top of the exhaust any suggestions?

 

[FastZ8]

This is what I'm talking about...is that normal? I tried but I couldn't get it to go any other way.

 

[Martimusx]

Yeah mine is pretty close to the footpeg. Shouldnt be an issue.

 

[FastZ8]

Yeah mine is pretty close to the footpeg. Shouldnt be an issue.

I can move mine by hand and make it touch the peg pin and the swing arm...it's pretty hard to make it touch the swing arm though.

 

[Paralgin]

Dosent seem right that it should be that close.

 

[Martimusx]

Well even though mine is right under the passenger peg, there is no movement at all due to the bracket. Maybe you have to bend the bracket to form fit the exhaust.

 

[FastZ8]

Well u can see how I have it mounted...is that wrong?

 

[Martimusx]

From the looks of mine and others on here it looks like you gotta make the hanger tighter around the muffler.
