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.

It cost me £900 for the full carbon/carbon system the pc111 i got for £150 ebay and it cost me £200 to get the bike mapped. Maybe it would be cheaper for you to get it from the uk.

the guys who prep the oz honda race bikes said dont bother with a filter, they tried the lot and said the stock one works fine, thats what they use on the championship winning bikes, get the pc and tune....

u can get the yoshi full system from motomummy in the u.s. for $960 odd, which is a lot less than 900 quid....

Thanks. One quid seems to be about $1,000 Australian at present (well, at least $2.50) but the US/A rate is about $1.50, so it might be better that way. I wonder if the PCIII I've got on the Blackbird would be compatible..... maybe I can just switch it across with a new map?

sb1000rr · 11-09-2008, 5:58 PM

i doubt the pc3 will be compatible, get on the dynojet website and see if the part numbers are the same.....

ok. shouldn't be hard to find out, but what's the difference? I guess just the plug on the end.

Yep that's true and maybe dinojet can send a plug in adapter they did on an R1 for me.

I put yesterday Yoshi full system on my sc59. (with PCIII and IM) - here

Rich22 · 11-11-2008, 12:05 PM

Has any one tried to disconnect the cable to the flapper?, I have if you remove the cable from the bottom of the servo, push the cable into the sleeve this opens the flapper, tape it down to the bottom of the box, do not diconect the electrical connection to the servo, this fools the computer as the servo thinks its still connected and still spins but the flapper stays open.
The bike runs better and sound great, except for how heavy it is there is no reason to change it. if you still want to change it competition werkes has a really nice one for 495.00 U.S.
As far as U.S. bikes compared to Euro. the Euro has about 7 more horse power than U.S. and a few colors we cant get but the black out motor and pegs and hangars are a nice trade off.
The horse power issue can be cured for 149.00 U.S. from Bazaz Performance, its called the Z-Bomb and lets the bikes timming advance like the Euro model,
I have installed this and it really works these 2 mods put it on another level,and cost a total of 149.00 and about 1 hr. Hope this helps!

Join in by all means ... but do a quick search first. While you haven't posted anything new, first hand experiences with mods are always helpful.

Congrats on owning the bike.

Rich22 · 11-20-2008, 3:01 PM

Does anyone know what affect the silencer length has on performance on an 08, i am looking at a very short stubby can and wondered if this would sap power at all or if silencer length makes no difference

splatty · 11-21-2008, 5:23 AM

Don't know about the Blade mate, but when I had my Ape I knew a lot of people who cut down OEM cans, or even Akras.

Looked and sounded great, but apparently lost quite a bit of bottom end.

allanbrown · 11-28-2008, 7:10 AM

I HAVE HAD MY NEW BLADE FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. REALY IMPRESSED. FITTED A YOSHI AND NOW IT REALLY SINGS A TUNE. AMAZING BIKE COMPARED TO MY K6 GSXR1000. SUPERB HANDLING AND POWER DELIVERY.
BEST BIKE I HAVE RIDDEN SO FAR.

allanbrown · 11-28-2008, 7:25 AM

SWEET HEY!!!

The sound is not too bad either, especially when the top hole’s valve open at around 4000 to 45000 rpm

Have a gander at my pipe....

This is what I could find after a quick Googling. The particular site only has one off-angle picture.

Ralf · 12-02-2008, 3:20 AM

Ah, thanks

. Real pictures would be better.

I went from stock to slip-on Yoshi R77 to full Yoshi R77 and I'm telling you that you can't go wrong with this system. The slip-on sounded and looked great but didn't do much for power. The full system upped the ante, big! It sounds great, looks even better (without the funky "S" pipe of the slip-on) and has better clearance. Plus, the full kit comes with the aluminum panel to fill the gap between the pipe and the plastics. I can't wait to see how she takes to dyno tuning. Unfortunately, that'll have to wait til I get back home.

Ralf · 12-06-2008, 8:23 AM

Yes, the yoshi is a very nice system. I would be very happy if I can mount it on my blade. But this type isn´t legal here in germany and I will get trouble with the police here.
It´s very difficult here. A exhaust without a catalytic converter is not realy legal. At the moment there is only the Akra Slip On and the Remus.

super coup · 12-10-2008, 12:12 PM

Ive been looking into the full KR tuned system for my 08. I was wondering if anyone has seen any tests on it. or seen it in action. Any opinions would be appretiated

iang27 · 12-19-2008, 1:15 PM

My brother has just fitted the new Leo Vinci GP Pro slip on, we expected it to be just slightly louder than standard with it being road legal with removeable baffles, it sounds like a ferrari !!!

Even on tickover it has a deep tone and it gfrowls and spits when the throttle is opened. Roll on spring when he can test it out.

All he needs now is one of those covers to hide the pipework ???
