A question for the guru's out there, my 860GT has had the crossover pipe removed and replaced with a small straight through pipe into the conti's. My question is, will it run better with this set-up or would I be better off fitting a crossover pipe? Will it matter either way?? I assume the crossover pipe is there for a reason...
Thanks!

Re: Crossover Pipes
The crossover pipe is included to reduce the sound level, letting each cylinder to use both mufflers to reduce the sound. Removing the 'balance' pipe has the cylinders running, with a tuned length pipe, that will allow the sound waves to work to scavenge the cylinders. This needs the carb to be rejetted, especially the front cylinder, or you can lose a piston.
I would replace the crossover to reduce the sound and preserve the standard jetting.

Re: Crossover Pipes
I had a Verlicchi 2-into-1 fitted to my 900SS. My wife claimed she could hear me six kilometres away coming up the river valley. Mine is a little different though. The headers and exaust can are separate parts. It is stamped 'riservato competizione'.machten wrote:....Or install one of these Verlicchi's and never talk to your neighbours again!!!!
