rossi46 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi, I purchased a X-over when I went to Mandello recently, I've had it on for about 1500 miles, today whilst out for a run the bike lost power and started to sound loud, I pulled over and found that the x over had completely come apart at a weld! I managed to limp to a garage and did a repair to get me home. I have e mailed the seller, Agostini's, will wait to see what they say, but what to do,get it repaired? junk it? Has anyone had any issue before with one? It is the type that does away with the support bracket- cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've never seen an aftermarket x-over (Mistral or stucchi) crack in that place ! Are you sure you mounted it tension free?

rossi46 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 yes sure I did, loosened everything and took my time when fitting cracked clean through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 My mate had one of these on his Scura and after welding it up twice he has junked it and gone back to the stock one, I recently bought a Mistral item and that was a loose fit on all four pipes and wouldn't tighten up so that went on Ebay, the stock collector is stronger and offers very little restriction. It's a long way to send it back so if you want to keep it get it welded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve S Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 That looks like a bottle of Chianti and a long lunch "weld". and why is it made up of 10 bits of pipe when 2 would do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 This x-over type i have never seen. But it sure looks like a piece of (s)crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Phil Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Im sure Agostini's will look after you, Ive had good dealings with them in the past Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldini Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 This x-over type i have never seen. But it sure looks like a piece of (s)crap. Do you know manufacturer? Agostinis website shows a piece similar to yours, but with a mount plate fitted: http://www.torquepowermotorcycles.com.au/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=75&product_id=111 Stucchi x-over that I have (below) is basically 2 tubes. It also has a mountplate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Jaap Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The Stucchi is expensive, but much better quality than the Mistral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldini Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 this one http://www.agostinimandello.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_new.tpl&product_id=189&category_id=19&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=59&lang=en No manufacturer info there. Maybe they had them made up locally? Have you heard anything from Agostinis? As a matter of interest, I came across this dyno comparison: http://www.bikeboy.org/v11sport.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
