    Aftermarket rear sway installed with Mugen Twin Loop for EP3 problem

    This is for all the EP3 owners with Mugen Twinloop exhaust.

    I'm getting a little rubbing noise coming from the rear after installed my aftermarket rear sway today. My question is have any EP3 owners experienced the same problem?

    Could exhaust be rubbing from vibration? Try mount it higher so it clears your rsb?
    Lisa is a nut. She has a rubber butt. Everytime she turns around it goes putt putt.

      It only makes rubbing noises when I go up speed humps and driveway, unfortunately I can't mount it any higher.

        Sure it's your exhaust? Did you grease the bushings?

          did you put grease on the sway bar bushings when you installed it?! i didn't have any grease when i installed my rsb and it made squeaky/rubbing noises when i went over stuff. got some grease and greased up the bushing and it was gone

              I used lithium grease which I also use on some components on my bike. Pretty readily available from a lot of places.

                All POLY bushes whether it be hardrace, whitline, superpro, nolathane ect. require being greased..
                Whiteline supply lithium grease with their bushes..
                Nolathane supply a molybond type grease..
                Superpro supply an industrial type petroleum jelly,, its like thick vaseline..
                No idea what hardrace supply, have never had experience yet, maybe another CITR mermber can give feed back on what type...
                I personally dont use any of the grease that is supplied with these bushes, through experience i have found that PBR rubber grease works the best...
