Seriously, couldn’t they just extend the tube a bit so it overhangs the exhaust pipe???

    I know that’s a solution, but as a solution to bad design it’s a little bit “Just wear a rubber glove to stop your oven electrocuting you”. Yeah sure, but maybe design it better?

      Do you have any idea how much the manufacturer saved in not extending the pipe tho?

      Because I have no clue. Probably wurf rite

        What they actually probably saved was needing to design a whole separate engine case for each bike in their lineup to match all their exhaust configurations.

        The idea of having a little pipe protruding out is a different kind of bad design. Things that poke out from engine cases tend to snag or get punched in during a crash, turning what would be some scrapes on the block into a completely totaled engine.
