Could it be a "Burley" Pipe?

NZ500:
Thanks for the info. It doesn't have a D after the K-15 so must be a standard one. We don't have deserts here any way and I'm probably to much of a pussy to hold a 500 pinned like I can on the 200 lol. I guess it will be good for climbing hills and towing blown up four strokes on trail rides  :-D

I haven't been able to ride it since I brought the bike and sooo badly want to have a go on it. I've only been on a 500 once, my mates early 90s CR500 and it was great fun on shingle roads. Just waiting for prices on parts from the local dealer (full rebuild) but I think it will be cheaper to get my bits through mrcycles.com in america. I've found a few other cheap places that freight international (has to be USPS or not economical) but they seem to be the cheapest? We really get screwed on OEM motorbike parts here

Ive got a Burley that was on mine when I bought it, pretty sure it says "Burley" right on the pipe though.
It was torquey but fell flat on top.

kwakman:
If its your first time out on it you want that pipe as you just shortshift and use the torque curve, NOTHING will pass you on tight stuff, as cracking it open a smidge down low the onslaught is perfect.For parts, search the 'parts identification help' thread.There was a company mentioned by purpletj that was v.good pricewise.K.

NZ500:
Cool, thanks very much :)
