floridajon Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 now I'm wondering about the Yoshimura R77 as 2WDW Has The YOSH & tune for about the same price as the Akra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded good too. I have a 2WDW tune on my bike and even with the stock exhaust it is a huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eventually went with it for ONE reason.... The Akra Ti puts the ENTIRE system under the bike. My FZ-07 is track only, and eventually I will probably go down . If the entire system is under the bike, there is no pipe sticking out the side of the bike that gets wrecked in a crash (or even a tip-over). The difference in price between the two systems was cheaper than repairing the Yoshimura "can". That was enough to sway me towards the Akra. I do prefer the sound of the Yoshimura R-77 though . I just feel the Akra Ti is better designed system (being under the bike)- 1 ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the quieter exhaust but wanted to reduce the engine braking. I also really like how much smoother the throttle response is with the tune. It is a worthwhile upgrade even if you do not change your exhaust, your bike will be tuned for best performance not EPA requirements. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't the tune with exhaust accomplish the same thing aside from being super quiet? I dunno how people ride with stock exhausts, it's just too dangerous imo. Going to ship off my ecu to 2wdw prob next week to see how it improves the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't replace my stock exhaust because of any safety concerns. I just wanted my FZ to sound like a motorcycle not an unholy union of a scooter and a sewing machine. DewMan Just shut up and ride.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted September 1, 2020 Global Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2020 I know I am in the minority of people who like the stock exhaust and understand why someone would replace it. I found that installing a MWR air filter changed the exhaust sound while accelerating and I really like that. The safety argument of loud bikes is a whole other debate which has been hashed out elsewhere on the forum, but I personally do not think having a loud bike makes any difference in regards to safety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our bikes sound like sewing machines going down the road, doubtful an air filter is going to dramatically change anything. If the cages aren't looking for you at least they'll hear you. Plus I'd rather hear exhaust than the loud valve/injector/chain noise these bikes produce lol. Ride safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very surprised that the air filter effected the exhaust sound, but it did and I am happy with it. I have had way too many loud bikes pass me that I did not hear until they were in front of me. I always assume I am invisible and ride defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just installed the centre stand with a stainless r77 and the foot does contact the bottom of the can. One member cut a piece of rubber hose and put it on the bolt... lacking hose, as a temporary I wrapped a few mm thickness worth of electrical tape. 1 Crush your enemies. See them driven before you.
