quick update: power gains with new exhaust are incredible
before exhaust i would cruise along at 80 about 1/2 way through fifth with engine revving fairly high
after exhaust i can now cruise comfortably at 80 at about a 1/4 way through fourth with engine barely revving
into fifth and bike just picks up and goes had up to 130kmh but need to check spoke tightness before going any faster
still had about 1/3 throttle still to go. next task on the agenda is to have bike re-jetted and new dash fitted with tachometer so i can
see as well as hear what the bike is doing overall very happy with how it turned out and as i said at the start the power gain is day and night
compared with stock exhaust with also weighs a ton.Last edited by stromnes; 05-20-2010 at 04:42 AM.

That is an amazing gain! Might try something like that myself. I still have a sprocket to change first, once I have fixed the car. Maybe these bikes can really perform given a bit of work, thanks very much for the update. There are a few folk in Aus and GB have the Kinlons hopefully your ideas will help, shame Mr Pfaelzer of Jh600 fame doesn't have a Kinlon ... it would probably fly to Mars if he did. Somewhere on the forum is a carb mod for the Kinlon if you look around.

thanks halfcasted,
muffler was a custom job, originally 300mm longer and it looked like on the bike so i cut it down and made new exhaust down to where it joins onto the front half
now 44mm from the join back to the muffler made huge difference to power and acceleration.

Hey mate, did you remove the video link, I am signed in but can't see it ???
So basically you took the old exhaust, cut it down and ripped the guts out or was there more to it?

hey jape,
sorry been so long for reply had computer issue's lately
no mate just ripped the bottom part out of the new exhaust when i cut it down didn't actually touch the baffler, only the pipe from there to the end
will check on video link and see what's going on with it.
changed the main jet on weekend as well to a 125main and adjusted the needle to fourth groove from top, much nicer and smoother ride and a hell of a lot zippier as well now.
and was really bored last week with the shitty weather that i decided to build a bash plate as well

cheers mate
