Jardine spaghetti setup issues...

[Cbass182]

My bike came with the spaghetti pipes, new in packaging never installed . But I don't see how they are suppose to connect between the two mufflers. it doesn't appear that the parts that sticks out of each muffler are long enough to connect together. Am I missing a part that slips over the parts that stick out of the mufflers to connect them together? If I am missing a part, how would i go about fabricating a part?

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks,

I believe it's called the crossover pipe...and after looking around I think mine is missing...

Could someone that has this exhaust tell me what length and diameter the crossover is? So I could make one...

Thanks,

Cross-over pipe

The pipe goes on the inside, just measure the inside diameter of the pipes where the missing pipe goes and you will have your outside diameter measurement.
To get the measurement for the length, put the exhaust on your bike, all bottoned up just like it's supposed to go and then measure the distance from pipe to pipe and then add 2 and 1/2 inches.
If you get the outside diameter correct, then your new part should fit kinda tight, with no clamps.
You will have to remove one side of the exhaust to install the new peice of pipe.

Good luck man

There are some pictures of one for sale on ebay. Item # 300239330523. I thought it might help you.

Thanks for the suggestions I'll see what I can come up with...

Too Bad

Unfortunately, they are ruined.
If you insist on using them, your XS11 may: lose 2nd gear, suffer clutch spring fatigue, bad fuses, plugged spooge holes and dirty carburetors.

To possibly avoid these and other problems you should ship the ruined pipes to me for disposal.

Just trying to help.

The Jardine muflers I have also have the crossover pipe. (Crossovers are supposed to add a little bottom end torque.) The pipe has a clamp bolt at each end; the pipe slips over the stubs on the mufflers and seals by tightening the bolts. There are no gaskets in the crossover pipe, or muffler to header junction for that mater.

If this part is missing you can probably fabricate a replacment out of steel tubing, or even cap the crossover stubs on the mufflers. I doubt if you would see much change in performance. If you fabricate a crossover tube I would cut a slot in the ends and put a SS hose clamp on the ends to tighten down the junction.
