No injuries · No fire · No crash
THE TAIL PIPE IS LOCATED UNDER THE SEAT AND EXITS BEHIND THE TAILLIGHT, WHEN RIDING THE EXHAUST ROTATES ONTO THE RIDER AND INTO THE HELMET AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS OF RIDING I'VE HAVE HEADACHES AND SMELL OF EXHAUST FROM THIS. I'VE TAKEN THE MOTOR CYCLE TO THE DEALER TWICE AND HAVEN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A HONDA CBR1000 RR . AFTER THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO BE CHECK OUT, THE DEALER SAID THEY RODE IT BUT AFTER CHECKING THE MILEAGE FROM THE DROP OFF TIME TO PICKING IT UP. THEY TOOK IT ABOUT 2 MILES . THEN AFTER TAKING IT BACK TO TRY OUT. I CALLED TO COMPLAIN AGAIN AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE HONDA REP SAID THEY HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS. BUT STILL HAVEN'T OFFERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE 08 MODELS HAVE A NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT IS ON THE SIDE. *TR
