You're not the only one. It's a delicate matter. I got it to work but it was so frustrating my subconscious erased the traumatic event.
Norskie, nothing to do with the Yoshi pipe, it's the original Kawi heatshield. The rough location is right and having seen the other comments above it might just be a case of bending the metal mount on the heatshield.Years ago I put a Yosh can on my 2000 VFR800. I thought I installed it wrong, but based on what I'm hearing here, and the difficulty of the Yosh tail tidy's, I'm starting to wonder if there's a quality problem at Yoshimura.
