Hi,
Just going to change my fork and shock to Ohlins this coming Sunday, in order to complete my full mod. Looking for the final mod, which is my full sys. exhaust.
I heard a lot of comment in this forum, I think no doubt Akrapovic is the best, but the price is damn high. If I only have 2 options, which one will you all choose?

1.) Yoshimura RS-3 full system with stainless steel header and titanium can and link pipe High exit.

2.) Leo Vince SBK full system with stainless steel header and titanium can and link pipe High exit.

or

3) Akrapovic Race full system with stainless stell header and titanium can and link pipe High exit.

But if in term of money restriction :cryin only left option 1 and 2 which one you will choose?

Let's vote. :iamwithst

Oh man not a hard choice....take the LeoVinci. Yosh has gone down hill,as much as I hate to say that. The only place Yosh is putting their R&D now is with Suzuki.

So what you all mean is choice either Akrapovic or SBK Leo Vinci? Is it very bad to choose Yoshimura :n0t ? I agreed that, Yoshi is now more for Suzuki, or it always be! So is there any difference comparing Akrapovic and SBK Leo Vinci in terms of Power :machinegu ? (What I mean is Akrapovic Race not evolution) Like to here your opinion?

And if the final answer is still Akrapovic, then is the race system as good as the evolution system? :iamwithst

The racing system will do just fine. The power difference won't be that great either way,you might get 2-3 more hp with the Akra but will you really notice it? My bike runs 133.5rwhp and all I have is an M4 slip on and I do 5th gear wheelies with no clutch(before anyone says that is :bs I have about 10 witnesses) So the question is what do you really want?:cool:

Well I have gone up two teeth on the rear sprocket because the only thing I thought was wrong with the R1 was gearing. I never even tried till the other night and I was riding next to a friend who was having hell getting a third gear up so I said I was going to do a fourth gear and it bounced right up. I figured I would mess with him and said ok 5th gear(we both laughed) and I stood up leaned way over the bars whacked the gas and tugged and I was up and gone. We are going out to get video footage next weekend and I will get it on video. Hell Swedie did a 6th gear on his RR:rock To pull a second gear wheelie sitting down get to about 6500rpm sit back and roll off the throttle and back on hard and it will come right up(the whole process should take no more than 2seconds or so). What you are doing is loading up the front end so when it is coming back up the suspension along with the throttle will bring it right up

thanks, this last Friday I was going to work on the highway and I started messing with it and it came up and I got so exited and scared that I let it down but I still cant do it on on the first try I have to keep on trying until I get it up but its all about practice so ill eventually get

It is all about practice but please be careful(ya ya I know shut up dad)once you start pulling it up at high speeds it gets real hairy,like when I pull it up around 130mph the first 2-2.5feet are a bitch but after that the wind gets under it and you are straight up real fast. Man that scared the shit out of me the first few times.If you are doing it on the freeway at say 65-75mph in second you should be able to just whack it and it should come up.
