My 1995 ST1100 has 125,000 km on it and the exhaust was rotten so I bought another one from a fellow who installed a Delkevic full system. I saw it on his ST in his garage.
The downpipes and collector on his OEM unit I bought look fine - virtually zero rust - but the assembly just will not go on my ST.
My bike is on its side stand. The replacement RH exhaust pipe is still connected to the left hand pipe & collector box and it appears not to have rotated at all. When I try to install it on my bike the left and right sections seem to be a little too close together but when I try to splay them apart it won't rotate. I suppose if I heated it or something I could get it to move but if it was sold to me in the same condition as when it was removed from his bike I shouldn't need to.
Has anyone experienced the same problem? Any ideas?
