Howdy,

Just posted in the repsol thread, got the invite over here from Zop, so now i am officially part of the dark side
Used to ride a Telefonica Gsxr600, sold that, bought a work bike (97 gs500) then realised summer was round the corner and that i needed a real bike, was planning on my dream of an 05 gsxr750 but then i saw THIS thing and just had to have one, so i bought it!

http://img96.exs.cx/img96/1889/repsol24fl.jpg

so ive had it just over a week now, clocked up close to 900km and having the yoshi exhaust installed on friday, hopefully right before getting the 1000km service done.
Did a big ride to bacchus marsh and the yuan yuangs this past weekend and this bike is pretty friggin awesome, looking forward to some great times and some great rides.

so, hi everyone!

Redwing are installing a dyno (might even be finished now) so you could do a before and after run with the pipe to see how it goes. Phil Taiton Racing would be another great option and probably would have a good idea which pipe would give you the most bang for buck.

and kick ass bike

[sheepofblue]

Great! Besides the looks I think you love the power and handling

[The Sook]

PLEASE, don't wreck that thing with a Yoshi pipe........................ get something decent for it. Micron for a slip on, or Arata or Micron for sull system. Besides the pipe, your bike is sweet. Haha

Yer I suppose Sook would know a thing or two about it as well being Phil's counterpart in Sydney.

Its not too bad a place....I've got very fond memories of going through there as a little tacker and passing through the avenue of honour before they built the freeway. Not a bad pub there to stop and have a bite and beer either.

actually i chose to leave them off, i think the bike looks cleaner like this, that and the fact that i dont use ONE of the products that those stickers are for. so whats the point?

i like it cleaner without all the extra stickers. oh and unfortunately the yoshi is getting put on this friday, part of the bike deal so me no worry, have already seen/heard a cbr1000 with one on and it sounds sweeeet
IMO the microns look like a$$, too similar to the stocker, havent seen an arata pipe yet.

Hey Yoss man welcome, you probably don't remember me I use to post on the JDM forum, under the same name of course, had the 929 blade and went to one of the pub nights at Scoots, It was a wet night and I was the one who got there sox caught on fire on the heater
Anyways you will love that bike, in an un-natural way too and thats fine, looks great!

[Zop]

Hey Yosco,
You will be much more welcome here than over the other site
Just keep away from Bacchus

So the bike comes shipped w/o stickers? Dealer places them on I assume? Good to know. It think it looks cleaner too w/o stickers.

[Zeeman]

Z...

[repsol_movistar]

yeh the stickers are put on as part of the final prep of the bike before u pick it up, lucky for me they didnt do mine right away and just gave me all the stickers, like it much more this way.

Will, yeh i seem to remember that event, kinda hard to forget!
Big Zop, dont know what u mean buddy
looking forward to catching up tho

well make sure to come out to puggs this thurs nite mate.

[The Sook]

Yoss? Are you on the Sook site? Are you one of the 04 Torndiacs? Haha If you're not, then you're the 2nd person I've known called Yoss. Ha.

Looks shmooks.............. you buy a pipe for h.p first, quality and looks next. The Yosh looks like a piece of industrial work compared to the others, and make sfa h.p. About 2 from memory on the one I did here. So you got it with the bike............. great, rip it off, sell it to some other sucker, and get a good pipe. Haha Arata now do slip ons also for the CBR1000RR. Previously they only did systems.

I take it you don't like the Yoshi.

[RepsolRacer]

None of the dealers up in in QLD seem to be putting the race stickers on either, i left mine off aswell.

Sook id be interested in seeing some pics of those raven racing framesliders.

Ive got the valter moto ones.

Also can you recommend a place to get bike serviced in sydney ? Im going down to do superbikeschool at eastern creek on the 22nd and will probebly need my 6k service before the day. Also get some new rubber on

Thanks

[The Sook]

Haha. Matter of fact I can............... ME. Haha I'm about 10-15 min away from Eastern Creek on the Hume Hwy at Lansvale. (near Liverpool).

Nup, Yoshi are the most over rated pipes around in my opinion. I have seen time and again, other pipes out perfrom Yosh pipes, both mufflers and systems, yet as soon as someone thinks of a pipe, they think "Yoshi" thinking they're the best etc. They ain't. Even on Suzuki's, who as soon as they get one, the owners are lining up to throw Yoshi anything at it, but where a Yosh slip on gives the GSXR1000 3-4h.p, where a Micron gives it 8-10. And Yosh are supposed to be THE pipe for Suzuki, or so Suzuki owners think. Haha.
I did a GSXR1000 the other day that had a Yosh slip on on it already. We dithced it, put an Arata system on it, it made 11 more h.p. Not over standard, but over the Yoshi slip on. I've done a CBR600RR with a Yosh full system and mapped, made the same power as a Mcron or Arata slip on mapped. It gave it 1.5.6 or something, where the Arata system will give it 110-112h.p. So why would you? But anyway, each to their own.

[repsol_movistar]

Sook, yeh its me mate, Colins site has been a bit quiet these days so im hanging around other forums to keep me busy

bah, dont think i can be bothered removing the yoshi and selling it and then paying for a new pipe and then paying to have that one fitted when whats on there now was FREE and sounds great (to me) when im riding. thanks for the advice dude, next time maybe
