86 VFR750 Exhaust Stuck

Just trying to remove the rear pipes from my newly acquired old viffer and am having a bit of trouble moving anything! Have undone the clamps and tried a few different ways to pry them apart. I have now sprayed them with monkey spunk (penetrant) to try and loosen them up a bit. The bike had been shedded for quite some time before I bought it so I guess they are just corroded together a bit. Just wondering if there are any tips or tricks to get them apart? Any help will be appreciated. Cheers

 

I know it is probably the obvious, but you did unbolt the cannisters from the rear subframe at the rear pegs didn't you?:unsure:

 

I got nothing but horror stories aboot fighting with gen 2 pipes. You can try to remove the front two head pipes and then a rubber hammer (a big fucker) ,beer, and patience. Good luck.

 

Thanks guys. Yep I did unbolt from the foot pegs and I left it overnight to see if they would just fall apart miraculously by themselves but no, just as stuck as yesterday. I will keep going with them today after I complete a few mandatory household chores as directed by the minister for war and finance.

 

priceless! Minister of War and Finance!:rofl:

 

take a screwdrive and split the slots out so they will slide off the insulators ,,BFG helps also ..try to put a set on by yourself...thats a bitch..gregg

 

would a propane torch work with the plastics off?

 

not really ,,hammer wooden block tap on each one at a time and keep alternating pipes..its in a bind and u gotta move each one a bit at a time..gregg
