So is the Yoshimura the one to go for then?
Problem I have is I only like the look of the Taylormade, the others all look a bit naff to me.

bottom line is, buy the one you like. it's your bike and your money.

I love the looks of the taylormade. I just can't get bring myself to pay $900 for a slipon with no hp gains, when I can buy a yosh full system for $800 and gain hp. That's just me.

not sure why you keep saying 'de-tuned'. It's a timing retard to pass noise emissions testing. I was under the impression that the Canadian bikes had the same timing retard? You can simply add, as I have already done, the zbomb from bazzaz to get the top end horsepower back and defeat the timing retard so it will match the power of the european bikes.

Bazzaz Performance - Motorcycle ECU mapping and ignition components. - Z-BOMB

The highest real world numbers I have seen for the 08/09 is 171hp. That's with a zbomb, full system, PC and custom tune. If you actually got those numbers from a dyno It appears they have it set to read high.

i went with Bruce Fab it looks great and sounds even better . Second really wants to wheelie though thats not exactlly a bad thing plus i got it for $300 shipped.I was about to drop 750 for the yosh. now i have 450 to spend on controls and fender delete.

In the U.S., it's the bikes that are retarded while in Canada it's the riders.

Don't waste your time. The guy doesn't even understand the difference between crank horsepower and rear wheel horsepower.

well said well said, im just mad you got to him first.

The canadian bikes are the same buddy, in america we like to learn things before we speak. (i know we dont really it just sounded good)

I heard though a guy took his screwdriver out of the tail and his canadian bike is making 450 horsepower too so **** america.

I find that statement very uncalled and in bad taste. If you want to see something funny, just let me know. I'm sure we all (but you) will find it funny.

Yes I would like to see something funny!

Nothing funny on here very much anymore.........seems to just keep turning in to slanging matches

Yes I totally agree!

TroyBoy30 · 02-24-2009, 9:10 AM

I was simply stating facts. Then I kept getting called mr. detuned by someone who's bike is also detuned! WTF! lol

It all started when I told him his favorite pipe makes no power. I like the taylormade also but the fact is it's $900 for a slipon that does nothing but improve the looks of you bike. I personally would rather improve the looks of my bike as well as gain some hp. The yosh full system will do that for cheaper. It's not the best when it comes to hp gains but I think it's one of the best looking systems simply because of the filler panel and it's one of the cheaper systems when it comes to cost. If I simply wanted to go for hp and ignored price I would go for an akro full system and fab the yosh filler panel to work.

Are you sure? You won't complain about it when you get back will you? Think really carefully and really hard about your answer.

What are you talking about? Honestly I don't know about you guys. Everyone thinks they are so smart! If its about the emmission thing and the retard timing then understand that in the US certain states ie Cal. have very strict emission laws for any motor vehicle be it a car truck or bike. This is why the manufactures have to make adjustments in order to meet these regulations, hence the engine mods, hence the horse power loss (call it what you want). Canada does NOT have these same strict emisson requirements or does Europe!
GET IT! Now please don't bother me about this issue again, I'm here to enjoy this site and not getting into pissing contests. Thanks

Not to piss on, but the ignition retard was put in place to lower noise. Since the bike makes peak horsepower earlier in the rpm range the test is held at a lower rpm. therfore it is quieter, and yes the canadian bikes have it thats why the zbomb works with them too.

Not trying to argue just letting anyone viewing this have CORRECT info. We lose no power due to emissions in the states, in fact only EURO spec bikes have o2 sensors.

does any 1 know who does the best deal for the yoshi exhaust have seen them on ebay are they the best deals?

UcantCATCHme · 02-26-2009, 2:48 PM

ive seen them for 650 for the full. I think thats without the heat sheild. Dont know if that helps

Mate the Taylormade does not work and is to loud for track days (i got turned away) and for me the Yoshi looks better and fits with the look of the bike better

check it out

Define the best. I have got full Yoshimura titanium + carbon silencer exhaust, it comes with the shield to cover the hole and baffle to kill the noise if needed. It is installed together with the Power Commander and BMC filter (street version). I had the bike tuned on the dyno and got it to 169 bhp at the wheel. That is the best for me. Yes, and noise, the noise is just awesome

How loud is the Yoshi slip on?

104 without baffle which knocks around 4 db's off, that's the full system not sure on slip-on but should be a little less.

craig5 · 03-04-2009, 7:02 AM

best as in quality,looks and performance

splatty · 03-05-2009, 6:46 AM

I'd love a Yoshi carbon slip-on.

Gotta book a summer holiday, insure the bike, and I want some tyres so I'm gonna have to wait

silverh · 03-06-2009, 6:50 AM

My 08 had the Yosh full system, PC3 and custom tune last Friday, cant wait to ride it. Dyno says 159.7 with a sweet ass curve..

- Just about all of the pipes look better than the Taylormade. The Taylormade exposes the asymmetrical gullwing swingarm. In addition, the Taylormade is overpriced and doesn't do a thing for performance.
