The Akro seems to be the best bet. weight and power advantage, plus you keep the cat. The EPA is getting wise so best to keep away from the mid pipe.

Akra on the way ;)
Bye bye with the "dangling nut bag arrester box" and replaced with link pipe and can.

Down 1 tooth front cog this week, later it will be up two on the back and std front with chain/sprocket change?

This bike needs this IMO It isn't wild enough down low and too tall geared although deceptively smooth and quick as is, the melted BT016 are coming off and on with the Mtz racetek ;)


When the PC and healer becomes available they will be fitted asap. Cant have enough usable power IMO and this bike has it in spades, I just demand more.....

Outside of that....... Friggin awesome, and after riding with Hammer (GSXR1000 current) in Qld over the weekend and both of us melting the 016's (they were great, just got way to hot and are the wrong tyre for both bikes) I am again blown away with the corner speed and how easy it is, just when you think you are at your limit for the road the bike encourages you to tip it in more and does it so easy ;)

It gets better every time i ride it, or more to the point I am being shown the way by this bike :twisted:

I would forego the mid pipe and do a little broomstick alterations to your pu8ssytwat

EfreakinPA is getting wise man, you've been warned, theres hefty fines with messing with the twat and exhaust but you can get different exhaust engineered aslong as theyre within limits. just friendly advice. Sprockets/chain mod are a good thing on this bike, you can stop start everything on this bike in second if you really wanted too. . . so broad a gear.

Get the solo cowl off ebay, genuine Kawaka and fixes up the tail imo.

If that massive box is anything like the box on the 08-10 ZX10r, its not a cat.

the cat is actually in the headers.

The box just has a pipe going through it with a big bend in it and lots of holes drilled in it. it is purely to shut the bitch up 8)

The Kawasaki tech boys were saying the servo driven baffles are in the box and the muffler is easily interchangeable without having to disconnect the cables etc. as you had to do on the 08-10 model They seemed to suggest that there wasn't much baffling in the muffler as it was all taken care of earlier?? They did say the link pipe is the real way to go but beware of the noise if you're not on the track.

I put the Akra slip on last week. Takes about 10mins including unwrapping the new Akra from it's carton. The Akra makes no difference at all in regards to sound emitted if the baffle is retained. Give the retaining bolt( holding the baffle ) a quick snap, take the bolt out and remove the baffle. The sound is not loud or abusive. You only hear the pipe higher in the rev range. I would think that there is minimal h.p gain, maybe up top? Using the supplied Akrapovic carbon look heat shield/guard exposes the "box" even more. I retained the Kwaka heat guard.
