Nice looking bike, what mods have you done mate, or did it come with the mods done, hopefully there will be a few of us guying for a ride soon, so if you are keen you are welcome to come, the more the better. There is also a ride which starts out west every Tuesday and Wednesday night if you are keen.
cheers Rod

Thanks guys

sickboy,

na no valve in that exhaust, we were able to disconnect the cables and it worked fine without,,, have taken out the baffle though which was a prick of a job..

Bear,

yeah they look prety good, nice and chunky, they are the stock guard covers..

Hey you guys do know that the Exup valve delivers bottom end torque?
It helps create a pressure wave that aids exhaust scavenging from the cylinders (more commonly and falsely known as back pressure).

Removing it may be more loss than gain. The cat converter is the real restriction.

Nice bike Ross..so much nicer than an R1:D


quote: Hey you guys do know that the Exup valve delivers bottom end torque?
Bear..Yes Exhaust valves are proven technology etc etc.. and please no offense but could I suggest that you read "Four Stroke Performance Tuning" before talking about pressure waves....a little more on the fence than a Yamaha web site.

Wasn't trying to be Yamaha bias or sucked in by factory hype, if that's what you think. Which is why I included that other website.
Make your own mind up. Just a suggestion, which is why I said "may be more loss than gain".

I thought hard about removing mine but thought twice after what I researched. I want to know if you can feel the difference, I mean, why would they make them otherwise? And for so many years?
Please - educate me. I'm a qualified mechanic so I should understand.

Depends what you're after performance-wise too, of course. My understanding would be to remove it for the race-track (high revs) but for torque on the streets, might be best to leave it active.

And then again, FZ's are "detuned R1's" for the street.

Here's some of the info that made me think twice about disconnecting the exup valve - http://e30m3performance.com/tech_articles/engine-tech/x-pipe/x-pipe.htm

And yes, I took offence to your R1 comment. :D

Revmoving the EXUP valve is better for power but only after you fix up the fueling.

Have you opened up the front of the air box ?

You should also re-route the cables at the front of the frame and tidy them up to let the air in better.

Then remove the EXUP and retune it (PC3 AFRTuner etc) and it'll start to go like a 1000cc naked bike should.

-1 and +4 makes them a monster

VERY NICE.

I was in a shop last week and was offered a brand new one
for $13,??? ride away. Not sure what they should be?
But seemed like a fair price to me. (06/07 Old stock)

Along with the Speed Triple they are one of the more
appealing of the current Nakeds.

Thanks guys,

yeah i love the thing, dont think i could ever sell it, have wacked a bellypan on it since those pics, went down 2 teeth on the front, got rid of the sproket cover, rizoma grips, Next will be the wave rotors and power commander once i get some spare cash, then apart from that im almost out of ideas [:p] have thought about the Barbuster idea a while back, will have to chuck a set on and see how it looks... I think it would work out prety well.. will have to see..

hahah .. thanks Weasel, when your ready to race at the drags let me know, I'll go easy on ya ...

tony 13 on the road is very farken cheap. wouldnt let that opportunity go... thats a bargin
