G'day guys, long time no speak!

Im finally getting the GSXR1000 Rizla rep i've always wanted.

One thing that im confused about:

Can someone explain how the exhaust cans are fitted on??? All my previous GSXRs had the 4 bolts on them at the end and a clamp - this looks slightly different......

Does it really matter when you're sitting on arguably the fastest and meanest bike on the road?!

The original can is in that 'form'. Simple clamp around the bottom. The rest is clearly visible.

Correct.

Thats was as i hadn't ridden for 4 months and needed a new bike.

Both my claims are resolved in my favour so i not only have 2 years NCB but £3000+ of policy re-imbursments.

Ill be trading the 750 in. Cool

You can't fit the 4 bolt to the K6. It also has the butterfly valve at the bottom of the link pipe, so be very careful when changing the can or you will have the Fi light on if you don't get the measurement of the cables correct.

remove the set valve on it, load of crap anyway. I removed the one on my k6 750 and it not only sounded louder but according to before and after dyno run it free'd up 2hp. lol.

I want that bike so bad lol. It looks amazing.

Why don't you get rid of the entire stock load-of-crap (TM) exhaust system and fit a full race item? Lose the CAT, the exup sh!te (if it's got that) and the LAMBA (if it's got that) and let the motor breeeeaaathe. Thumbs Up

The set valve is there for noise emissions at lower revs, it keeps the butterfly valve shut until a certain rev range then opens up.

Sounds a bit crappy to me............

So the danger of removing it is to do with the FI warning light if you mess it up.

The FI light will come on regardless when you take off the set valve. On my K6 750 I had to pull wire 30 from my ecu to switch the light off.

Not sure which it is for the 1000. Quite alot of people done the mod in america especially on gixxer.com. It was fairly easy to remove but if you dont feel confident pretty much all the suzuki dealers know how to do it.

That sounds dodgy. Why is the FI light there? To tell you that it's injecting a different mixture than it should be?

I assume you mean the Lambda (oxygen) sensor, in which case it would be a very bad idea. Engines with such a sensor rely on it to dial in the air/fuel mixture. Removing it would probably have disasterous effects.

Exup is a Yamaha system, so i don't think it will be fitted Thumbs Up

Go for a full stainless (304 grade) system Thumbs Up

9/10 new sports 600's and thous for the past 3/4 years have all had EXUP style exhaust valves to beat emissions and noise regs. These are dumped with a full system. You need to bypass the valve to prevent it lighting an FI light. Most full systems come with something to do this.

The lamba sensor can also be dumped with a full system, but you'll need to bypass it again, most full systems come with something. Best fit a power commander to get the fuelling spot on though. The lamba sensor is again there to help beat emssions regs from cold start ups and during general running.

So you know if your Exhaust valve/ Lamba sensor has gone to exhaust heaven.(If you still have them)

A Power Commander fuel map and a terminator block takes care of the Lambda sensor. My system came with a bung, so I could retain or get rid of mine as I wished (I removed it). And my Blade also had an exup valve, which was removed , along with the CAT, when I fitted my full system.

Between my cylinders and the can there is now't but four into two into one tube of air. Thumbs Up Laughing

The lambda sensor is there to adjust the air/fuel Thumbs Up Replacing it with an alternative system is ok, but simply disconnecting it wouldn't be particularly good.

Titanium systems are the nuts, but i doubt he'll be able to spend another £1000 after the bike and paint job Razz

It does no harm removing it, 100's have dont it with positve effects. Its up to you, I only removed it because i couldnt get my track plastics on with it on. Just buy a full system, it eliminates it altogether. The full system comes with no replacement, just a method of bypassing the FI light.

once u remove the stock can u have to pull the wire from the ECU in order to stop the FI warning light. Every gsxr1000k5/k6 that u see without the stock can has had this done so its ok. its the black/brown wire on the top set, remove the whole motor while u are at it, its not going to be working so no point havin crap hanging out of the bike.
