SLP pipe personal experiences?
- Thread starter TheBreeze
- Start date
Early builds had lots of failures with the cracks developing around the temperature probe. I have a new build and it too cracked and required welding after one of the gear clamps broke and fell off. These clamps are very important to stop the pipes from rattling apart. SLP supplies some heat tape to put under the clamps but I feel you have to add more to keep the heat off the clamp to keep it from failing.
If the clamps get too hot, they either get brittle or loosen off from expansion.

Do you use the Axys belt with the pro gears?

Yes
what he ^^^^ said, good low cost mod
One of our group had one last year. It sounded good, and seemed to run good but his cracked and then wouldn't run right to get back to the truck. They were back ordered forever it seemed and he wasn't happy. He tried welding it himself but it was to thin for his welder. SLP did stand behind it and eventually sent him a new one that cracked. He's back to stock and leaving it that way now. I did not get to ride it because he said "Id scratch his sled in the trees". Not sure how to take that lol. Ive ran SLP pipes for years on my old improved and mod sleds (pros, edge, IQ's) with good to great results. Dustin was my "go to guy" there, but he's with Klim now.
SLP is a nice improvement over stock. Add the second band and you should be fine. Checkout the Bikeman setup too. In my experience the gap from SLP to Bikeman is the same as stock to SLP. The Bikeman pulls hard.
Anyone running the slp pipe and can without the clutching?
All i did at first was add heavier weights

Can anyone compare the slp pipe vs bikeman?
I have changed to the SLP pipe only so far. I put it on a week ago Friday to see what it would do. Friday rode at 6000' to 8000' for the day and ran 8350 to 8400 rpm. Then went to Cooke City all week and added some race gas each day and at 10,000+ would still pull 8350 to 4000 rpm. I have Carls clutch helix, bearing and 66 gram EPI weights sitting here as well to try but now wondering if it will make much difference? It runs awesome right now. Everybody that rode it told me not to change a thing.
What clutch set up you running in it now?
Who are you asking? Right now My clutch is what came stock, have not touched it.
Ok thanks I was asking you.
So are you running 10-62's or 10-64's? And is this on a 16 or 17 axys, belt drive or 3"? Thanks in advance.
