Hi guys,
I bought the Mivv No-kat mid-pipe a month ago, with the intention of having the cat on my 1100 Special removed. Bought it online in the UK, brought it back here to Malaysia with the intention of having it professionally installed.
However, with the lockdown in effect, getting to the shop is somewhat fraught. So I'm thinking of doing it myself.
Initially, I thought it would be a simple operation, but having spent a bit of time staring at the bike, and looking things up online, I'm thinking it's rather more involved.
Having said that, I'm still willing to give it a go. I'm not completely useless (I think) but am far from being an expert. The last time I did any proper maintenance work on a bike was more than 20 years ago with my KLR650.
But ... a couple of questions.
1. I'm assuming I would need to remove the exhausts as well as the pipes before the header. Is this correct? I initially thought all I needed to do was remove the mid-pipe, but no ... not that easy.
2. I'm assuming I need to disconnect this bit here:
which I think is the lambda sensor. Where is that connected to? As in, where exactly is the control module? Under the seat?
3. The Mivv No-kat pipe does not have any mountings for that bit, so I'm assuming it's safe to remove it entirely. Is this assumption correct?
4. Should I just get it done by someone with an actual clue?
Thanks guys, and stay safe. I hope I'm not being a twat about this.
