Fantic 200 (Rear Kick) Exhaust

[samwisemcg]

Is there any difference between the fantic 125 exhaust and the 200 exhaust?

I have a rear kick 200, with a 125 (fm250) front pipe fitted and I'm just wondering if it is holding back the bike?

Thanks

I don't think there is any difference. My front pipe is marked up fm250 and is a 200. What does make a big difference is  to make sure that the back silencer is clear. If that is blocked it strangles the bike.

Thanks Eddie, mine is the only fantic I've ever ridden, so I don't know any different.

I should have added that the front pipe can also get blocked. I poured petrol into mine and threw it on a bonfire. That seemed to work ok but I did the same for the silencer and ended up having to cut both ends of the silencer open.Inside I found the holes in the baffle plates completely blocked by carbon.

Good luck

Used a regular gas blow torch and a compressor blow off gun to clean mine. Great fun !!!!! Took a few minutes to get it going but well worth it.

 

Basically you fire the air and the butane torch up one end of the pipe until it starts to roar. You will know when its started to work. You can then remove the gas torch but keep the compressed air on.

 

Almost worth buy old two stroke pipes so you can do it for fun.
