my first r6 :)

[stranger12]

Hi All,

Just bought my first every inline r6 2005 model.

On the log book it shows it as 04my , what does it mean?

does any one know if the digital speedo shows the current gear ?

I am waiting to get mine which will be this week hence why I am aksing these questions

also is it illegal to remove the exhaust pipe and simply install a short pipe ? the current long pipe looks a bit gay in my view.

Can I take the exhuast from my sv650 and install it on it ? it is ramus

Probably that it's an 04 registered in 2005 though

Doubt it will show what gear your in, never been on a bike that does

Yes you can change your exhaust, your sv can might fit if it's a slip on, just try and fit it and you'll find out pretty quick

That's an akraprovic exhaust, yes you can get one, although not sure if those stubby ones were made for the 05, think they are newer but not sure. Do some googling

End can will probably be around £400, full system provably around £800 for akroprovic

If you just want a stubby can for your r6, look at sp engineering stubby cans, be about £150 and there very good

**my = model year or manufactured year i think.

[stranger12]

are they just there for the look or do they have performance benefits?

what would be the point of getting the complete system ?


one other thing is, can i just put a short pipe on there? and remove the muffler.

Maybe, who knows

To get it sat like the picture That will involve cutting your exhaust system by the way, it's not a direct fit. So be sure it's what you want or you'll end up needing to replace the whole system
