This week's pickup review
As expected of a "Yoshimura" product
[Usage]
I use it for solo day touring in good weather.
[The one you received is an image]
The quality of the product is just as I imagined. I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the packaging which makes me feel like I bought a good product MAX!
[Installed]
The most difficult part was whether I could loosen the "engine hanger bolt and nut" safely.
(↑If this work is impossible, it is safe to ask a motorcycle shop to install it.)
The accuracy of the product is high and there is no part that interferes when wearing it. It is more labor-intensive to remove the stock exhaust system which is tightened with "over-torque" in some places.
[My review after using it]
1. The torque comes along at higher RPMs as well, so the feeling of being able to pull the revs is slightly improved and feels great.
2. Engine braking has been reduced to a reasonable level, which makes it easier to ride with less "jerkiness" in my driving style.
3. I was unconsciously upshifting earlier when driving on flat ground. Even in the half-acceleration range, there was an impression of a slight increase in torque.
4. When the engine is idling during warm-up, the sound is low and subdued, but when the engine is under heavy load during acceleration, the exhaust sound is quite loud and brave. Some people may feel negative about it.
[Included parts]
It was all there, but it should have at least come with an exhaust gasket.
[Disappointing]
It would have been better if the "normal heat guard" could have been fitted.
[Other]
I changed the exhaust system to improve the looks and sound tuning, but the driving feel changed to my liking.
It's too "tight" all over the place.
Half? It came off.
I crawled and did my best.
New gaskets will also be installed.
The brackets are very accurate and can be installed according to the instructions.
It is finished and recommended.
I've heard a lot of stories about people who can't get the OEM exhaust system off, and it gets more severe the longer the motorcycle is new. It's also possible to break the stud bolts holding the exhaust flange if you force it loose.
However, once that is cleared, the rest is Yoshimura's quality. It is easy to understand that it can be installed perfectly without any waste. Even though it's a Japanese Government-approved exhaust system, the compact appearance is also cool!
