A16 slip on not fitting?
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2016 9:59 pm
Another noob question, sorry if I'm being an idiot but I'm having trouble fitting my A16 exhaust.
The exhaust comes with a stainless steel mount and 3 bolts (although I can't figure out what these bolts are for, since they are too short to fit through the mount).
I took off the old exhaust, including the clamp. I then slipped my new exhaust on, wrapped the mount around it and tightened it as much as I could, however it isn't tight around the can, and as a result the can has some play. I have tried removing the rubber washers, taking out the spacers, using the supplied bolt, but no combination of fittings seems to secure the mount around the end can.
Am I missing something completely obvious here? There is no room for the clamp to tighten around the exhaust, so I'm assuming the can is meant to be held in place by the mount on it's own? I mean i've owned 2 bikes previously and all they involved was securing the clamp and then tightening the mount, which was always easy.
I've got one theory that my pipes are aftermarket, but this doesn't really make sense as the bike currently has a standard OEM exhaust on it.
Cheers
