XOVS
OVAL XTREM BLACK
Technical information:
Reference: OK7071VXS
Material: AISI304 Stainless steel
Shape: Oval (125x100mm)
Total length: 367 mm.
Weight: 1,9 Kg.
Type approval: CE e9 97/24
Removable dB-reducer system
Note:
The main requirement is the removal of the Exhaust servo cabling.
If you are running the OEM-ECU, you should NOT remove/disconnect the Servo itself.
By removing ONLY the cables, the servo will continue to operate/exist via the ECU.
The following is a brief 'How to'
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1st step:
You will see two (2) cables running from the backside of the OEM silencer, running upward behind the RHS heel guard and past the mono-shock.
Take an 8mm & 10mm spanner and loosen (release tension) the adjustment points of the cables.
2ns step:
Remove the cover panels on the LHS of the bike.
You will need a 6mm & 4mm Allen key.
3rd step:
Locate the Exhaust Valve Servo rotor
- Remove cables using a pair of needle nose pliers.
- route/feed the cables through to the exhaust point and pull them out.
4th step:
Now all you need to do is unbolt the silencer and remove it from the bike.
There are three (3) points - 2 x bolts & 1x Jubilee clamp
Pillion Peg bracket / Lower Frame / Mid-pipe
after you've removed the mounting points and loosened the clamp you should be
able to freely remove the OEM silencer (with the valve & cables attached)
5th step:
Follow the specific installation instructions provided by the Manufacturer
of the new silencer you've purchased. Repeat mounting points, and refit body panels.
You're done!

Here are some before & after pics of the Z750.
The IXIL pipe weighs significantly less @ 1.9kg
sounds great and looks more appealing.

And is even enough to throw whatever tool was sitting on the back tyre off to the side! Great write up too
