There's no accounting for taste.

10/27/08, Ive been doing some slip-on research and this is what I got...
Jardine RT5... Good note, No PC, HP increase about 2-5 above stock, $520
TaylorMade... Good Note, W/PC 2-5hp increase, No PC gets stock HP, $900-1200
Yosh R77... Good Note, no PC, 2-5 increase, about $600

Jardine however says I should get a PC to prevent engine damage, the others said no PC necessary. Thats my concern...damage or no damage?
Has anyone just unhooked the servo cable to keep the stock baffle open? has this affected HP?

I know people that have put a slip on and no PC111 and never had a problem, but I recommend doing it because it makes a difference. I also installed the Bazzaz Zbomb and it really makes a difference above 10,000 RPM...

I ran my bike for about 3,000 miles with the servo cable unhooked and never had a problem.

If you check D&D Dyno for the twin pipes it lost 15 hp top end.

what happened to arata website?

Notorious · 10-28-2008, 2:51 AM

Has anyone even looked at the Taylor Made full system? Go to racetaylormade.com. I looks and sounds the best! Two Brothers is nice, but it looks like a part of the bike is missing on the lower part of the body. Also, stick with a Power Commander instead of the Juice Box! ...unless you're installing a Two Brothers exhaust.

jpuli28 · 10-28-2008, 5:33 AM

With Taylormade, your paying 900-1200 for just LOOKS. There are no power gains worth the cost (even with the PC). No PC will get you STOCK HP, with a PC you get an avg of 2-3 hp across the range.

I'm liking the looks of the Taylormade, but seen the new Yosh carbon pipe...Hmmm decisions

Had the Taylormade got the Yoshi, Yoshi wins hands down

Hey Guys,
Just fitted a Jardine RT5 slip on to my 08 blade and the MIL light is flashing. Any suggestions on how to stop it would be helpful.
Thanks

jett08 · 11-03-2008, 6:02 AM

Must add that I don't think it would be the servo cable as i had this disconnected before. There was another set of cables that i had to disconnect that wasn't mentioned in the instructions. This cable ran up to a plug under the left side of tank..

1sicmofo · 11-03-2008, 6:40 AM

the only cable you need to disconnect is the servo motor,if you unplugged any thing else you need to re connect them.
after taking of the servo cable you need to turn the servo motor back to the way it was before you disconnected it
or you will be in limp mode

jett08 · 11-03-2008, 6:43 AM

Yeah, I did that but there was another hidden cable connected to exhaust with threaded fixing. This one ran thru a loom up to a plug which i removed.

jett08 · 11-03-2008, 6:45 AM

Maybe it has something to do with the emission standards here in Oz

Its the 02 censor you need to get the eliminator plug in from power commander about £20

jett08 · 11-03-2008, 2:54 PM

Ok, thanks for that. Will look into it today.
By the way, if anyone is thinking about getting a Jardine pipe, you might want to get some ear plugs....for your neighbours

gotama · 11-03-2008, 3:29 PM

so which system with a pc 3 gives you the most hp gain throught the whole curve

Rich22 · 11-04-2008, 4:41 AM

I get 12bhp throughout the range full yoshi pc111

What are the headline BHP fiqures with the yoshi matey.

Rich22 · 11-04-2008, 9:46 AM

170 at the rear wheel where mine was done but some dinos would read around 174

silverarrow · 11-05-2008, 5:57 PM

I've just installed two brothers on my blade and the sound is amazing I've noticed though that the restriction during shift changes is gone but I think I need a power commander or juice box to get the max potential of the slip on

Thats the same as my full Evo Akrapovic but for me the major diffrence is the good increase in mid range.It has realy changed the whole feel of the engine.I've just got back from the Millan bike show and that red,white and blue 09 HRC colour scheme looks the dogs.

jett08 · 11-06-2008, 2:29 PM

My Jardine slip on feels good and sounds great through the mid range but not so good down low. Sounds and feels like its running on 3 cylinders. My local shop suggested getting a BMC filter before going for the expense of a PC 3. Has anyone done the filter mod first?? Or should i just reach into the pocket and go for the PC?

Get the pc it will help but a slip on is only ever gonna give you a max of 5 bhp if your very lucky, my taylormade possibly lost me 3 bhp up top

its gone now long live the yoshi full system

jett08 · 11-06-2008, 3:53 PM

Yeah, thanks Rich. I thought as much but at $1000 + for a PC and tune, Im thinkin I should have gone out and got the full Yoshi and PC first time around..

I hear what you're saying, but are you comparing apples with apples? I don't think many aftermarket slipons get much more than a few hp extra if any, although they seem to fill in the hole at the bottom end. The full yoshi pc111 you describe - can you tell me how much it cost? I looked at the Yoshi website, and the carbon/Ti full system was $1599 (US I expect) and the pc111 plus tune would be about $1000? At the current US/Aus exchange rate, that would be almost $4000..... If there's a cheap option, I'd be keen to hear about it!

If most aftermarket slipons produce marginal performance gains, then it's probably about weight, sound and looks more than anything - true? Then there's personal choice.

Look forward to any info you can provide. Thanks.
