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.

NOICE !!!!!! Heaps Better, Half Baff the way to go me finks !

Great write up!!! Looks Great!!!

Tried with both baffles and decided the half was just the right pitch without the migraines on a long ride. And i guess it's only a matter of 6 hex bolts to remove it for the track.

Quality of the IXIL systems are quite good, materials & build are as good as any well branded. Reasonably priced as well.. so i would recommend them to anyone looking to ditch the stocker.

Looks the goods & great write up

thats a really good write up. Very nice looking Z you have too. I reckon the pipe looks pretty good without the baffle on at all.

.....Or the slightly more simplified step by step.....

Step 1 - go away with the girls for a weekend for your birthday

Step 2 - remote log on to KSRC and find your bike has a new pipe!!!

LOVE IT! Looking forward to FINALLY taking him out for a spin next weekend!

refer to the above post... what's hers is hers and what's mine is hers

Woo hoo - just ordered my single seat cowl from Aitkens with some birthday money given to me by the lovely BlackCat! I pick it up on Saturday (well, as long as it comes in.....and it better - Jeff, if you're reading this!!! ).

So now all I have left to do is:
Black Belly Pan
Renthal Fat Bars
Remember how to ride again

Woo hoo - bring on the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (excited much?!!)

No Baffle sounds mean And is even enough to throw whatever tool was sitting on the back tyre off to the side! Great write up too

it works i guess... she let's me keep the garage... and doesn't even yell at me for storing parts in the lounge room... I bring home stuff and try to fool her into believing it's yard equipment... we have a spare room each (funnily enough they're both equally as messy and full of crap)

in short bike-chics rawk!

That looks farken awesome!

hype, HTFU
I think u need my friend need to administer some KUDA ACTION!

lol ... as long as she let's me think i'm the boss, i'm ok with that

you know the "Kuda" is a re-badged version of the original Shaka and it's derivative adaptation the Shocker!

which became the modern day Oakley sticker for every stunt-bike



yes my head is full of useless trivia

Hype my man...

We also have "the Mork"
