SUZUKI GSX 1300R Hayabusa: Assembly Guide
This stage is now complete. The left and
right downpipe and silencer assemblies
are complete. They won’t be needed
again until you mount the engine on the
main frame, so until then, put them in a
plastic bag and keep them in a safe place.
Push the outlet into the silencer. Try to
keep it straight as you push it so that it
doesn’t get jammed.
Insert the silencer inlet into the silencer,
holding the downpipe at an angle to the
silencer, as shown.
Locate the two pins at the other end of
the silencer, and the two notches in the
silencer inlet at the end of the downpipe
from Stage 15, all circled above.
Place the strips of masking tape on the
right downpipe and the right silencer. This
will help you to distinguish them from the
left downpipe and silencer assembly from
Stage 14.
Push down rmly on the outlet, to make
sure it’s as far into the silencer as it will go.
Cut two strips of masking tape and write
the letter ‘R’ on them.
Align the pins of the silencer with the
notches of the inlet.
