Exhaust question

Post by skippermcgee »

Your Year and Model: 1999 Voyager XII

Do You Have Accessories Installed: Yes
Mechanical Skill: Beginner

List Accessories Installed:


What have you done before the problem was there?
I just got my voyager and started to do the regular maintenance suggested on the forum, fuel filter, air filter and spark plugs... while doing the spark plug change I accidentally pulled the wires out of the plug caps. I jammed them back in as best I could but since its so tight in there I'm not sure that they worked... bike runs and sounds pretty normal so I checked my exhaust to ensure it felt normal and there was exhaust coming out of the 1st and 4th pipes but not the 2nd or 3rd. My question is whether each of those 4 exhaust pipes is functional or are they simply cosmetic? Maybe another way of asking the question is do you feel exhaust coming out of all 4 pipes? If so I've got a problem. Thanks for your time!

What have you already tried to solve the problem?
Felt exhaust pipes to detect exhaust

The caps simply screw back onto the wire and only two of the exhaust pipes are active. The other two are dummies. Hope that helps...........Gator Mike
