whats a FLS pipe
i to have done in my ninja pipes and im gona try a nova coz thats all i got.
the 52607 ya i know its outlaw

Thanks for the replies. Last night, I started to go through the pages on this thread. I found some really interesting information ( good and bad ). I did find what most users were running their ninja .12 motors at. It looks like 250-280F is the range. That is something im not really use to because I usually run nova motors at around 230-240F for optimum performance. I've added the copper shim that GRP provided for 30% byron fuel. I've gone through 2 initial tanks and im gonna heat cycle the motor next week. It idles very smooth and fired up after 3 initial start-ups during the first tank. On the second tank, it fired right up imitiately. I can't wait to hit the track and see this motor run after all is done with the break-in cycle.

FLS is the FAST LINK SYSTEM...exhaust system offered for the NINJA.

For reference I run most of my 12 motors in the 230-280 farenheit range. This is not intentional I tune by feel and sound, but this is where they normally end up. My Ninja also runs in this range when tuned right. It seems that modern 12 motors can regularly hit 280 without significant loss of motor life.

I sometimes use the temps to see if I can push the motor a bit harder on a given day. If i get 3 minutes of hard running in and it temps at 220 I will get my pitman to lean the top out some.

ah yes had this pipe to but the stinger fell out
not just broke fell out. bad weld you think.

Sounds like it !

Can someone post a pic or link to what the FLS looks like ?
I thought that was the one that came in the kit

I have been running around the 280's aswell and was a little worried at 1st as I thought that was a bit high (but the engine runs really well), but it's good to hear others are running around the same temps !!

go back several pages, there are some pictures also

Thanx

So is there much difference between the standard(the one that comes in the kit) exhaust pipe/header and the FLS ?
The FLS looks as though it's 1 piece(cant see any springs that hold the pipe to the header) ?

no springs it twists on and the seal is an o ring
its very nice
got to get it fixed but i dont really know how yet. this is it new again.

Thanx Wally, what about performance wise, much difference ??

I had almost the same problem, front 270 degrees or so of the stinger weld just split and the rest stayed together and ripped a little of the aluminum behind it towards the manifold end of the pipe. stinger was bent pointing backwards towards the manifold end. had it rewelded at lhs.

i dono if i was tuning better on the day i was running it but it did seem a bit better low and high end.

how did they do it.
