Exhaust can for Qingqi QM200GY (aka Qlink, etc)

You're right. The IW22 is for my Yamaha XV1100. The correct one is the IX24. Sorry about that, I'll edit my posts.

I asked the seller what the inlet inner diameter was on the stainless pipe above and they said it was 1 1/4 inches which I think is the correct size for your bikes.

Matt,
Did you ask the seller if you can get just the pipe? The shipping is pretty steep for this one even with the extra stuff;

No I didnt ask the first time but I will send them a message asking if they will just sell the exhaust can by itself. Most of the weight will be in the exhaust can so eliminating the down pipe probably wont lower the shipping to much also alot of ebay sellers will sell the product for cheap but charge alot of shipping because they have to pay ebay a percentage of the selling price but they dont have to pay ebay anything on the shipping.
I will let you know as soon as they email me back.

Thanks for the help...I will order the two jets you recomend.

You may not need to change the slow jet. It depends how the bike is set by the maker for different markets. On mine the adjusting screw was something like 2.5 turns out and unscrewing further did not make any difference, it was at the limit of its range. Changing the slow jet allowed me to back off the screw and obtain full range of adjustment.

On CV carbs the slow jet/mixture screw has great influence on the entire range of engine speeds, much more than on slide carbs. You can quite often get away with turning out the mixture screw to richen the entire range, except wide open throttle, to sort out stumbling or hesitation and flat spots.

Have to remember that on CV carbs screwing out or anti-clockwise richens the slow mixture, and on slide carbs you turn clockwise to richen.

You need a cut-down screwdriver to be able to reach the screw. Just use one of those cheapo electrician drivers and hacksaw most of the handle and blade away. then grind a new flat blade tip on what's left of the blade.

Always aim to obtain the correct idle speed consistent with the smallest opening of the butterfly valve. Excessive opening of the butterfly will uncover the transition ports situated by the bottom edge of the butterfly and cause what they call "hang up", where on blipping the throttle the revs don't die down properly and just hang up at 2 or 3k revs.

Thanks Matt. According to forchetto, the pipe is a little over 3 lbs. $45 is way too much for shipping...more than 1/2 the price of the pipe!

Yeah I agree that the shipping is way to high since it doesnt weigh much but I bet its more like he is selling the exhaust for $100 and paying $14.95 for shipping to save on ebay charges.

I heard back from the seller and they said they will only sell it as it is listed as a kit which at $114.95 USD will probably be around the same price if not cheaper than Xian Racing shipping to the United States. Xian Racing exhaust comes out to about $90 USD and I emailed them a few days ago about getting a shipping quote but havent heard back yet.

So I found this;

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tchlink:top:us

It comes with adapters to fit and the price looks right. I'm in Michigan so the shipping charges aren't very high.

I also found this;

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=110361010070

which is pretty close to, if not exactly, what Volksjagger has. The shipping to me is just $9.95.

I would like your thoughts on both, thanks.

The first link looks like it would be almost perfect but you might want to try to find out how big it is, it looks a little bigger then the one talked about in this thread so it might not fit to well behind the side cover. If its about the same size I would say try it out.

As far as the second link, that is exaclty what Volksjagger has and the few thing I dont like about it is its a 2 stroke silencer and I like more of the tucked in look and that pipe hangs out the back alot.

So ended up getting the first exhaust that I posted above. I like it for the most part. The main problem is the inlet is large and you have to use the reducer. The seller asked me the size and I got the correct one. The problem is when you put it all together, it sticks out the back too high and far. I cut the reducer down a bit and the only way it fits right is if the reducer is slid into the pipe. It works but doesn't look too good. I could cut the muffler and the reducer to see if it fits better but I am leary to do that. Another option is to take off the head pipe and cut and move the stop ring down. I'm going to see if I can find (or make) a piece of pipe that has the correct inner and outer diameter to slip on the head pipe and allow the pipe to slip on....

Now for the good stuff. Like forchetto says; "what a difference"! It's definantly louder but not overtly so. I did go to the 125 jet but not the larger (what we call) pilot jet. I don't see a need yet. I didn't know where it was until Carl posted the manual. THANKS CARL !!! I couldn't read it but I could see where it was in the pictures (as men, we don't really read instructions anyway). I no longer have to choke the bike to start it. It could be because it's a little warmer outside now but I don't think so. I think it's that the motor just doesn't have as much to "push" against now. I happy with it and it was a total of $78 shipped to me from Canada to Michigan.
