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

    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.
