Hi just a quick one. I want to remove the aftermarket arrow exhaust from my mille and replace it with standard I have undone the bracket and relesed the two lower springs but it doesnt want to come off. and i dont want to pull too hard in case it damages the exhaust. Any ideas

I'm replacing the clip on I broke and have removed the short and long screws on the bottom of the switch box on the handle bar. I opened the two halves being careful of the wires, but noticed there is a hidden retaining bolt located inside the bottom half of the box that must be removed in...
