Very true wilf, I expect this means my dealer will wait for it to cool then till they take it off
unless they got the gloves etc.
Then again Im sure the pipe cool pretty quick compared to the actual engine itself. Must be careful with bolts snapping though to as when hot they snap easily as i found out in past.
My dealer also metioned that other bikes to like 749/999 have same problem maybe with full termi system he means.
Wonder why it is done though maybe its most direct for pipe but all others i have seen go past it not under, cant see any gd reason for it
