I thought they were all the same too.
The dealer (in the NW) seemed pretty sure of what he was saying but I thought he was mistaken. As far as I know they started making the 600 in 1994. My workshop manual doesn't say anything about a pre-1994 bike.
He said the part numbers were different for an early 1994 bike and a late 1994 bike. Also the early downpipe is £49 and the later downpipe is £70.
He checked the reg number of my bike and phoned me back to confirm it was an early 1994 and therefore would need the early downpipe, but it would take 5 weeks to backorder.
I've managed to source a couple of full systems from 1995 bikes and I'm tempted to just buy them and risk this guy is mistaken.
Otherwise I've got a 5 week wait which could turn into months and a total bill of £180 just for the front downpipe and 2 into 1 collector. |
