"Not For Road Use"

Wed Feb 16, 2005 6:57 pm

:twisted: Says so on the can! (BlueFlame)

Noticed that while installing it this afternoon with a friend. So yeah, can is installed now. Got said friend to drill holes and make a bracket for it, so all is good.

As for the sound? PHWOAR. I love it Fair bit of extra bass as she burbles at idle. Give her some berries and yeah, strong roar with a touch of rasp to it. Sounds so nice. 8)

Only thing is decelerating, particularly from high revs she erm, not sure how to describe it. I guess you'd call it a sort of crackle? I beleive this is usually the case when the tuning needs adjusting thanks to the changed air/fuel mixture caused by the new can?

Hey kempy I got my bike back yester day with a new yosh can...now as far as i am concerned a really noisy pipe is a pain in the ass for the neighbours and will possibly attract the wrong sort of attention up the hills but i know some people consider it to be a NOTE.... you know that sweet burble that will wake the dead in the next state at 13000rpm. :D

Now dont get me wrong you might like it like that a lot of people do but i prefere a bit of stealth occaisionaly and the yosh came with a removable baffle that looks easy as to make and intall and cuts down the rumble considerably......Yes you may even make the decibel limit at darlington when you have to. 8) 8) 8) 8) so i think i will be leaving it in.

Please dont spellcheck this post.

Mine does that, I love it. Sometimes it makes a huge cracking sound which is especially good for scaring pedestrians, especially when it's accompanied by a foot long flame. :lol:

Where did you get the removable baffle from?

I've got a Yoshimura pipe and wouldnt mind getting my hands on one of those!

Just a note, with a loud exhaust, earplugs are bloody wonderful :)

Don't worry about the crackle...tis a good thing. It's just air getting into the pipe (because it's now better-flowing) and igniting a little unburnt fuel from the overrun. Perfectly normal.

Bob, your spelling is all WRONG! :P

But yeah, i'm opposite to you in this instance. I love my cans noisy, real bloody noisy :twisted: Neighbours will no longer be a problem cos I quit my shit job, got a new job, will only need public transport which means bike gets to be weekend toy. Awesome stuff.

As for declerating crackle, yeah I do understand it to be somewhat normal, but shes doing it too much. Why? Isn't sealed properly. So have gone and made new gasket and got some gasket sealant, all fixed now.

So much fun this pipe, scare the shit out of everyone. I have kids in backseats looking out the back window at a set of lights cos they can hear me coming 100m away. Awesome fun pissing off dickheads in "fast" cars at lights. Always loved lanesplitting past them at a set of lights, blipping down at high revs as I pass their window :D

And yeah, just going around making lots of noise. Shitloads of fun.

Now this is what joe public loves, a really noisy bugger on a bike doing the speed of sound past their car windows. Sheesh I know I just love it. :twisted: And of course we get the public right behind us when we need support too seeing as everyone just loves it, even babies smile. :P

Seriously. Good work man, looks a treat :wink:
