Only a few more miles to the first service then I open her up. I'm still waiting for my clutch slider and a new LP mount.

I wasn't thinking about doing that. What kind of benefit would I get from it?

FYI...............I've got a serious dent in my rear rim and I'm taking suggestions on how to fix the problem.

its easier than the instructions imply, just take the three bolts out of the back of the muffler and take the lil pipe out, mine nearly fell out it was that easy... and put the cap back on.....its seriously easy as pie.......just makes the exhaust sound grunty and have bit more of a note....thats how they intend you use the pipes the restictor just makes it quiet.

Wow.... those YOSH pipes look real good! I would remove the silencers though.

What's the sound difference like? On a scale of one to ten........ten being way louder than pre removal..........

probebly from 7 with silencers, to 10 without.....its a bit hard to say because it takes time to bed in the exhaust and get its true sound....plus it takes time to warm up and sound at its best...i notice that after i have been riding for a lil bit it warms up and sounds grunty'er... and if i ride it hard it tends to sound better...hahahah

Shoot me a PM. I was out on Capital a few weeks ago. Bike down now for some mods/fixes (bent front wheel) and cracked front fairing stay. Should be back out in the streets in a week or so. I know a bunch of dudes out this way so....holla.

I was at a bike mechanic today. He wanted me to know that removing those silencers will cause a drop in horse power. His 2 cents is to leave them in since Yoshimura pays the engineer millions to get the pipes right LMAO. :riding

Those silencers are strictly for noise control, not HP I believe. Shouldn't be an issue. Let me know how that turns out.
