Hey Dean, I've also got an 09 300 mines an MX. I've found the HGS pipe to be ok, all the good aftermarket pipes seem to be thin like that i believe you get better performance than with thicker gauge steel or twin skins.
I found lots of little issues to fix on my bike that improved it, i can give you a run down if you're interested.

Always interested in making a good thing better ;D I contacted the oz importer of Scalvini,and they quoted me $330 for a chamber which im pretty keen on.

that's not a bad price.

but don't it expect to perform as good as it looks though. I think the HGS's are about as good as an off the shelf pipe gets.

100% agree with that,Its just that the HGS is paper thin,well and truly over repairing it every ride.

Hi Dean .
I keep hearing about the paper thin problem with the HGS pipes on the aussie site i think you are a member of.
But I have never had a problem with mine.
I have stacked the bike pretty hard a few times in the 4 years I have had it and apart from a few small dents the pipe is fine.
I have a brand new HGS hanging in my shed which i got with the bike but luckerly I have never had to take it off the wall.
Silly question but do they do different gauge pipes.?

That would be me on DBW  ;D I have seen pro-circuit and fmf gnarly pipes cut,and compared to the hgs of my tm,they are way heavier gauge chamber.I had 5 tm"s and same problem with all of them..they are ridden very hard though,through some very technical stuff..

I've got HGS pipes on my Maicos and I've never had a problem with them. How's the suspension set up on your TM, is it riding low in the suspension stroke? My bikes seem to ride high and over everything.

Suspension is great,has been re-valved and sprung..very plush and sits up in the stroke,shock is as per factory ohlins..
