I've got a JL curly "snail" pipe on my scoot but as its name suggests the bloody thing leaves slimy muck all over the left hand panel and more worryingly the back tyre.
I can't be the first person to have this problem. Has anyone come up with a solution?

I've got one of those old bolt on exhaust deflectors if you want to give that a try Frank. Bit naff but might help?

What oil ratio are you running, 2/3/4%? might be a factorArmandTanzarian wrote:I've got a JL curly "snail" pipe on my scoot but as its name suggests the bloody thing leaves slimy muck all over the left hand panel and more worryingly the back tyre.

I thought about a couple of inches of radiator hose just to move it a bit closer to the ground. I recall someone saying that they unbolted and rotated the silencer but if you turn the whole thing round it hits itself and doesn't fit. has anyone drilled out the pop rivets and just turned around the very end bit?
