Hi All

This is my first post, i purchased a second hand XT660 2006 with 14,000kms around 3 months ago and have had a bit of an issue with the akrapovic exhaust system that was already fitted. Francesco from this site has told me to undo all the bolts and adjust pipes to sit closely and neatly to the frame then re-tighten which i will give a go tonight (thanks Francesco), however where the pipes connect, the previous owner has put on hose clamps.. and also the spring clips that hold it together, i have been told the hose clamps should not be on there at all, is this correct??

Thanks for any advice

Cheers to All!
