Exhaust / Sticker Removal??

Grandelosmanos · 04-28-2011, 06:36 PM

I have a roketa DB 05 and i am havin trouble getting the stickers off and finding a new exhaust for it.

The stickers are probably clear coated over.

What sort of exhaust are you looking for?

Grandelosmanos · 04-28-2011, 09:32 PM

preferably something painted black or chrome, not rusted to hell, with a better sound, and i dont think they are clear coated cause i got one sticker but it keeps chipping when i peel it, and some stickers have corners peeling on the edges

WD40 and A blow dryer are your friend! :P

Grandelosmanos · 04-28-2011, 09:51 PM

sounds intriguing, what the process on how to do that?, just heat it with the blow dryer and peel it, right, but the wd40 i dont quite get???

JTCAndrew · 04-28-2011, 09:53 PM

Put a light coat of wd40 on the sticker and heater up, Should peel right off.

Yup. I have a cheap Harbor Freight heat gun that is very useful for such stuff. Since I don't have hardly any hair I don't have a hair dryer. :P

didnt get a chance to do it today got off work at 7:30, but lit up my garage and at least reassembled my bike, and exhaust suggestions??? I can do a little fab work so it fits right, just need a universal deal

im looking for a new exhaust too...my bike is equlivent of the db-07. Be careful tho, these exhuasts have a flange or spacer on them, and without it, the exhuast will not be air tight. I lost mine, made one, but it still leaks...Im thinking if i find a whole new exhaust, i will be better off. Oh, you might also need to rejet the carb if the exhuast has more or less back pressure than stock.

you guys might have to tack on a new mount unless you can find a silencer that will bolt up. btw you can order a new exhaust gasket from most companies like fmf, hmf, dg etc... just measure the size of your exhaust pipe so you get the properly sized gasket

ok, i was expecting to rejet it, but i would get a little bit more get up and go as a bonus,
