Christmas Prezzies for my Tenere!!
I'm eagerly awaiting Santa (the courier) delivering my Christmas prezzie this year as its a pair of MTC stainless ovals cans with carbon outlets. Can't wait to fit them and fire it up!! I was wondering if there is anything I need to know about doing the swap. Is it a straight forward job? The Lamda sensor is up in the header pipes isn't it?
Also while I'm on, I'm hoping to get my wheels re-built with stainless spokes over the Christmas break and once they're stripped I was thinking of getting my hubs and rims powder coated. I'm think I'm gonna go for gold rims and black hubs cos I like the old school look of the XT600. I was just wondering if anyone had any advise/thoughts. Cheers Jay |

Removing the OE can isn't.... depending on your viewpoint. Seat off, grab rails off rear rack off tail section off remove old can. Then, I'd put the tail section back, the rack and the grab rails back before fitting the MTC's.

You are going to be left with a hole under your seat, which will fill with everything you ride over... While you have the bike in bits make up a cover, I used an old plastic paint pot lid, but Chinese cartons, tupperware lids, old mud flaps - anything that is a bit flexible but strongish too will do (not cardboard !!!!) The old can is a weighty beast - be ready for it.

From memory the standard silencer is close to 10kg. The Leo Vinces are within half a kilo of it also.

I would advise you simply get new Excel rims or similar and have the wheels re-built. The standard rims are soft in comparison. Please keep you old spokes as I need some spares!!! Thx
