Nice video mate done the same hub a while ago couldn't get the top clamp to clamp up just checked the cat and forgot the gasket so back to the drawing board wish I'd found this before I did mine cheers mate
Hey man that's a great video in tutorial, thank you. Identifies you weighed link pipe? I know the cat is roughly 3.2 to 3.3 kg, I wouldn't mind knowing how much the scorpion decat weighed.
Great video helped with my SMT, couple of spacers fell out when pulling the CAT out and got no idea where they come from 😮 But it’s all gone back together ok
Great video! Very informative and well done. I’m a big fan of BlackWidow exhaust. I think they’re well made, look great, and sound even better. I have a full system on my CRF, and they’re the first company I think of when upgrading exhaust now. Is there any noticeable power increase?
If I install slip on, remove cat and then aftermarket intake on ktm 890 adventure, do I need Power Commander to not damage the engine? Or the bike will map by itself and adjust fuel?
Well my thinking was I have 3 years to worry about that! If you have a friendly mot tester you’ll probably just get the noisy exhaust advisory. Worse case you’ll have to switch it back
How did you get the bottem circlip back on the header pipe to the new link , its so tight, must be a technique ??? any pointers greatly appreciated, despparate to get her back together :)
Ahh yes I know exactly what you mean, was not easy! It can only go on one way, you need to have the rear half lined up on the link pipe as you connect it and bolt it all up. I know I did take a few frustrating attempts and I couldn’t understand why a normal exhaust clamp couldn’t have been used like everyone else!
i've done two of these now and I think that the link pipe hole position is wrong, it is a millimetre or two too low so you can't get the bolt in when the lower clamp is even loose, I think they need to remake them with that adjustment and it would fit like a glove at the moment it's just out of spec. in the video he skips this part which I feel is very telling.
@@TheJWC56RSA Fair enough, I know allot of guys have just done the decat and put the standard exhaust back. Mine was quite loud and I had the baffle in my black widow exhaust.
No need to do anything to change the exhaust and decat. There are options to remap if you go as far as the air intake kit as well then it’s a good idea to get the best from it
That exhaust looks and sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Makes that twin KTM engine purrrrrrr!
Great video! You provided easy to follow instructions. Thank you
Thanks Scott, glad it was helpful
Outstanding video!!!
So helpful.
No problem bud
Nice video mate done the same hub a while ago couldn't get the top clamp to clamp up just checked the cat and forgot the gasket so back to the drawing board wish I'd found this before I did mine cheers mate
No problem bud, hope the video helps 👍
@@ontheroadadventure cheers mate
big thanks for this video, really helped with mounting i loved the fact, that you don't need to remove whole footpeg only to move it 👍
No problem my friend glad it was helpful too you. Cheers for joining us

Id be surprised if it weighs a kilo... Its just a short hollow piece of pipe
Great video helped with my SMT, couple of spacers fell out when pulling the CAT out and got no idea where they come from 😮

Awesome glad to be of help bud

Thanks, I wouldn’t say it made a power difference on this bike. I now have the same exhaust fitted to my CRF1100 and it’s great 👍
Thank you for the video!!! Do you a have a list of the torque Specs for the bolts? I can't find it on the user manual.... Cheers!
No but you will find it if you google them for sure
16:00 min -- BRILLIANT 😂😂😂 .....come back in a bit, see what I can do. I owe you are beer mate 👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate, Even the Mrs loves it lol 😂 She’s good though, she has her Africa twin now too
Nicely filmed and demonstrated.
Thanks!
What is the torque on the swing arm Bolt? Also torque of sidestand bolts? Thanks, great video!
No idea I’m sure these a manual on line to download
I checked manual, not listed...😢
Call your local dealer and ask to speak to the mechanic, he might be helpful
If I install slip on, remove cat and then aftermarket intake on ktm 890 adventure, do I need Power Commander to not damage the engine? Or the bike will map by itself and adjust fuel?
I would do the power commander, you’ll see far more benifits
Sounds beautiful, I want it for my norden
Was immense without the baffle!
Hi nice pipe, if you de cat what happens when the bike needs an mot ! Thnx
Well my thinking was I have 3 years to worry about that! If you have a friendly mot tester you’ll probably just get the noisy exhaust advisory. Worse case you’ll have to switch it back
Thanks for the video.. Has heat radiation been reduced with the decat?
I can’t say I noticed a massive difference but then I didn’t keep the bike long as it gave me so many other issues

@@ru54623 that makes me feel less use less on the tools , cheers mate
Very nice video... would loved the torque specs of the bolts.... Regards!
Ah sorry I can’t help you with that now although I’m sure you’ll find them online. Which exhaust did you fit?
Just going for a midpipe.
@@TheJWC56RSA Fair enough, I know allot of guys have just done the decat and put the standard exhaust back. Mine was quite loud and I had the baffle in my black widow exhaust.
Did you flash the ECU? Good looking exhaust and good video
No need to do anything to change the exhaust and decat. There are options to remap if you go as far as the air intake kit as well then it’s a good idea to get the best from it
Thanks for the video.
Is it possible to decat while keeping the stock exhaust?
Yes you just buy the decat link pipe, the bit between the headers and exhaust.
@@ontheroadadventure OK thanks
No problem, it will run much cooler and will make a good deal of difference to the sound too
Did you need remap new air sport filtre and ecu flash???
No not just for the exhaust, if you did the air filter too then I’d get a power commander or similar for the best results
@@ontheroadadventure So just for a decat and exhaust it S ok without any remap ? Thanks
@@rossi9209 yes 👍
Great video, which model or size of Black Widow did you install?
It’s their longest oval one, you don’t want shorter or it will be stupid loud
Looks like it is the 400mm oval. Just ordered one and I already have a decat. Thanks!
No problem, enjoy your exhaust 👍
Sounds class.
Thanks!
...got a like an subcribe from me ... nice explanation and filming style!👍
Thanks for joining us, hope it was helpful
@@ontheroadadventure very helpful...thx...BTW...crazy title 😂...waiting for the next content!
@@fun2rideadventure Thanks so much, there’s plenty on the channel for you to catch up on in the meantime 👍
Link to were to buy parts
Black widow have a website for their exhaust
Sounds great
Thanks 😊
What’s the top speed.
I’m not sure, plenty fast enough!
okay thanks, i'll just leave the "decat" where it is
It will sound epic either way
