Anyone changed the can on the R6??!!

[Chilli]

Ok, so the fairing has been replaced. Indicator was a b!tch to get back on, and the neighbours learnt a few new words, but tis now done.
Now the can. I've had a look and there's cables and all sorts holding it on. If I remove all the nuts, bolts and cables, should the pipe come straight out or are there sealants etc involved??!!

Many thanks.

Never changed a can on the new R6, Hobo might be able too help. There will be a thick gasket in the down pipe that the can slides into, try not too damage that when you fit the new can.

Cheers John, but couldn't even get the bolts off! I left it and went for a bar-bee instead!!

Hi Chilli, I've changed the can on mine - I swapped it to a Remus. Makes sod all difference, just looks better.

Are you changing it because you had an incident or because you just fancy a different one?

The cables you can see are for the ExUp value. Depending on what you are doing these either get removed or re-used for the standard can. Let me know and I can send you instructions for both.

I also have a spare standard can if you're interested.

Cheers

Cheers gents,
I'm changing the can as (I practically got it free with a fairing) the old one looks like it's been run over! I think it must be where I'm leaning over too far, and it keeps hitting the tarmac. Never mind!
I'll get the dealer to do it today.

Thanks for the help.

I have indeed changed mine. Took about an hour (and I'm a complete pleb).

As others have said, there is some wiring, however, just tie this together & put them out of the way.
