Gents -

 

As just posted in the "EXACT Exhaust options" thread, I received my Quat-D yesterday.

 

While it came with some certificates, it came with no instructions. No big deal, because it's pretty self-explanatory.

 

One header was marked "XS" while the other was marked "XD" -- I assume this has to do with left/right mounting.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

Left = Sinistra

Right = Destra

 

Courtesy of a real Italian in my office!

Stupid follow-up:

 

We mean left and right as we SIT ON THE BIKE, right?

 

In other words, my left arm would be on the side of the left cylinder while astride the bike.

 

NOT the left as if i were looking at the bike from in front of it. Right?

The left hand is the devils hand hence the name sinitra or sinister!

Further language trivia:

 

Left in Latin = Sinister

 

Right in Latin = Dexter, from which we get the word dextrous (easy to remember for all you right-handed people!) :nerd:

Guzzi flywheel timing marks are D for right, S for left cylinders as you sit on the bike.

you'll notice the headers are different lenghts- hence the markings. It'll be pretty obvious even if they weren't marked.

JRT --

 

At the risk of (again) sounding ignorant, why would the headers be different lengths? Perhaps you're referring to the stock headers?

 

I'm at work -- system is at the house -- I'll check. However, it didn't appear that they were different.

 

Most interesting...

And then you think those stupid italians: why did they do that?

That's because they used one tap on the crank where both conrods are mounted next to each other. I looked to find a picture that shows it, but could't find it fast.
