SPARK GTR8501 COLLETTORI STREET TRIPLE 765 RS - R - S: C O N S E G N A T I :-)

[reg156k1]

Hello! I'm sorry I don't speak italian, I'm using google translate to read all the wonderful information and reviews on this site.

I have a 2018 street triple RS and I want to buy the spark GTR8501 collectors to use in combination with the arrow exhaust.
I am a bit worried, because someone mentioned the collectors don't fit correctly with the stock exhaust.
Can anybody give advice? Thanks a lot.

Do not worry and go ahead with Spark collectors. I had to grind a little bit the manifold, probably due to my assembly procedure: first I tightened the bolts on collector's head and only then I connected the manifold to the silencer

Thanks for your reply.

So even with standard muffler or arrow muffler (which fits to the standard collectors) it should be no problem? I saw one youtube video claiming there was a problem.

Another question: Have you had to change oil since you mounted the collectors and do the collectors get in the way?

Grazie per la tua risposta.


Quindi anche con marmitta standard o marmitta freccia (che si adatta ai collettori standard) non dovrebbe essere un problema? Ho visto un video di YouTube in cui si afferma che c'era un problema.


Un'altra domanda: hai dovuto cambiare l'olio da quando hai montato i collettori e i collettori si intromettono?

No problem in my opinion

Can you report the link to YouTube so that we can watch the supposed problem?

And no problem when you need to change oil

I had the same problem and solved by grinding 5mm of the female pipe of the silencer Spark (in my previous post I said that I grinded the manifold pipe but I was not reminding correctly).

If you post a picture of the female pipe of silencer arrow, we can understand if it is possible to do the same grinding I did on mine

I don't know if this is of any help.

I just realised that I will probably lose the heat-shield, correct?

[reg156k1]

Yes, you will loose the heat shield but it is not a problem because, removing the catalitic converter, the pipes will run much cooler.

Looking at the photo of the silencer, I think that you should be prepared to grind about 5 mm of the female pipe, in order to be able to assemble the package

OK.

Well thank you for the information and help. I talked to the seller and also Spark IT and they still claim it should fit, even though I mentioned your experiences.

I think I will go ahead and order one and if I run into issues the seller said they would be able to assist.

Grazie.

A few week ago I received my Spark collectors, but one of the parts was damaged, so I had to wait another few weeks for replacement.

This weekend I finally got to install the collectors in combination with the Arrow silencer which I already owned.
I encountered all of the mentioned problems, but they are solvable.

It looks fantastic and I will get the bike tuned soon.
