Venox 250 / Re: Upper exhaust much cooler than lower one
« on: April 09, 2018, 10:08:49 PM »
Good morning guys. I was just sitting out the back of my place having a coffee on my day off, so I thought I'd drop in on the forum seeing that I've been very slack and not visited for a while. Regarding this exhaust issue that Osama has .. Yes, they are both "real" exhausts ( geez Stig  ::)  ;) ), one from each cylinder, so they should both get damn hot, so there is something definitely amiss there. Maybe the upper muffler isn't connected properly Osama, or the muffler gasket is leaking or not there at all .. or you said the exhaust connection was rusty. What ever it is, you need to get it sorted mate, because if you haven't got the correct back pressure from the exhaust, you'll end up cooking your rear cylinder. I've attached a PDF of the exhaust from the parts manual so that you can see the whole set up. I hope this helps in some way.
Regards, Hairy Bob.

Hey there CrossBolt ... you're right on the money there mate about that guy who reckoned he got 165 mph out of his Venox ... he was dreaming. I rolled the pony out to 140 klm per hour once .. what's that, about NEARLY 90 mph !  It took a while to get there and that was absolutely ringing her neck !  As you said CrossBolt .. MAYBE on a tricked up two stroke G.P. bike, but no way on a 250 four stroke cruiser !
Ride safe guys.
Regards, Hairy Bob.

I have some very sad news gang. I just received the news that our dear friend Vivo ( for those of you that knew him on this forum ) has passed away. I'll miss the friendly banter we exchanged on this thread, and although we never got to meet face to face, I just know that he was a damn good bloke.
Ride on forever Vivo.

 8)  Ahhh Grasshopper  ... now I'm with ya ( least I think I am   :) ). I reckon you should bring that groovy bus you've got over here mate and maybe look for something out in the hills around Nimbin. It's only about an hour .. bit less actually , from here ... just over the border. A very organic type of place sort of thing.

Righto then ... this is the start of the long wet road home. All goog though, I always carry good wet weather gear, so it's not that big a deal so long as you're equipped hey. These are just after I left my mate's place heading north ... see ...the sun isn't always shining down this way !  Beautiful country though none the less  :) ...

Hey yumz ... I'm no expert, but I've got agree with Max, that it IS too coincidental that two bikes would be doing exactly the same thing ! As Max suggested .. try the basic stuff first like new plugs.

No worries at all Redk. Maybe I totally got the wrong angle on your post. If that was the case, my apologies to you too mate.
Ride safe.
