Premium Member bornagainbiker Posted February 1, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted February 1, 2017 Poll: How many FZ-07 riders out there still run the stock exhaust and like it?

virginiadave Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I ordered the Akrapovic carbon system the day I bought the bike, it makes riding it soooo much more fun. The bike is way too quiet with the factory exhaust. I don't think I could live with this bike if I was forced to keep the factory exhaust. Night and day difference.

duenan Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 You need a poll option for those who HAD aftermarket and changed back to stock. Which is me.

AlbatrossCafe Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I currently have Akra Carbon, baffle out. I switched at 1000 miles, ran it baffle-in till about 8k. Cut the baffle a bit and ran that till 12k. I have been baffle out since and its now almost 16k. I commute about 30-45 min each way for work. Honestly, I am getting pretty sick of the volume. I run earplugs in every time, but it is still too after 10 minutes or so, or if an earplug isn't seated properly. It just gives me a headache. With the baffle, I could run the Akra without earplugs for short trips. Longer trips I still used earplugs. NOTE: It is not the sound quality I dislike, but the volume. With the stock, it was almost ridiculous how quiet that thing was. I didn't have to even think about it. It's too bad because I do like the weight savings and the responsiveness that the Akra gives me, but I do miss the stock volume. I may want to go back...

I may want to go back...I'm running the stock exhaust with the inside portion of the snorkel removed and a MWR air filter. It actually sounds pretty good when you are getting into the throttle - much better than with the snorkel completely removed. Overall, it's still fairly quiet though. I have a 2WDW flash for a stock exhaust with no snorkel, and the overall combo works well. Nice compromise of a bit of intake noise with an overall stealthy sound, and great power.

foothills Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Stock exhaust with the "3/8 inch holes" mod - good compromise, like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugson2wheels Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I run an Akrapovic titanium no baffle. Sounds epic! And people hear me then see me. Especially the ones texting and driving. ?

Yeah, I still haven't hear in person one, even though it's common... haven't seen more FZ-07 on the roads in these months riding... Safe riding!

bugeyes Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Bought my bike slightly used and it came with an Acra Ti system on, the unused stock exhaust I got is unused and on the shelf in my garage. Run it baffle in as I thought it was too much otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugson2wheels Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah I agree it's loud as hell.... But I use ear buds to listen to music so the ear buds block a lot of the exhaust sound. I actually trimmed the baffle tubes flush so it should be louder than stock baffle yet quieter without baffle. I might put it back on. Although I doubt that will last long. The sound is addictive. And I like that people hear me coming. I had a girl blow a stop sign and then she froze up and stopped in the middle of Hempstead turnpike!!! I had to break HARD and the entire time (two seconds and about twenty five feet) I was thinking about the best way to fall if I couldn't stop in time. The dumb ass had her phone propped up on the steering wheel so she could steer and text. ? If god created us in his image, does that mean god is an egomaniac as well?

Beemer Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Lets just admit it, we all like a bike that sounds great and everyone likes a little attention so aftermarket exhaust for the win! Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugson2wheels Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The best attention is the type that could save you from road rash, broken bones and a f@cked up bike. ?

Hey, I’m thinking about doing the same. How is it running ? Anything negative? Did you do the 3 holes above and below as most ? Thanks for you response In advance, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gather123 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I'd love to put something on my 2019 for a deeper, more soulful sound. I also really like the quietness of the stock. It would be great to find something to improve the quality of sound without adding much volume.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
