Title: Guess i'm done this riding season.
Post by: fj1200d on September 25, 2011, 04:55:15 PM
 So last couple days has been a little depressing So I have been trying to get some riding in. Last night decided to take a little cruise into PA. Didn't notice anything out of place, that is until I started slowing down and came to a stop to turn around and head back home. My right side muffler was gone.  :ireful: :mad: I don't know how, although I could guess. I must not have tightened it up after I had it off last.
Can't afford a new one. Put more money than I should have in it already.
Seems I just can't catch a break.. Theres no sense of dwelling on it. I took a ride in the car early this morning with the family for extra eyes, but didn't see anything. So I did all I can do for right now. Checked Cobra site and doesnt appear they make that one. Sent them an email so will see.

Would like to know if anyone that has a Cobra F1s exhaust still has any documentation or order info. I am looking for the model number. for the 90-92 FJ1200.

Doh!

Put an add up on your local craigslist and perhaps offer a small reward for it.

Someone is bound to find it.

On eBay right now:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YAMAHA-COBRA-F1-EXHAUST-MUFFLER-FJ1200-FJ-1200-86-89-/120773601997?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c1eaaeacd (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YAMAHA-COBRA-F1-EXHAUST-MUFFLER-FJ1200-FJ-1200-86-89-/120773601997?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c1eaaeacd)

I have a 1990 FJ with Cobra cans and a 1992 with stock cans. Mounts are different. The `90 mounts appx. 1" behind the passenger footpeg and the `92 mounts about 1" in front of the passenger footpeg. The rear frame and side covers are different between these years.

If you can't tell the difference in exhaust noise when the "muffler" falls off, maybe you should consider repacking it?  :-)

Anyone have video or sound file of a Delkevic exhaust ? Thoughts on this system ? Looking at the stainless Steel ones, Stubby or 18" ones.
