Aftermarket exhausts on restricted Yama MT-07 (35kw 47bhp)

[CVSensei]

Hola amigos!

So I'm yet to actually buy my 'Dark Side' (MT-07) but have already spent hours going through the aftermarket parts and accessories I plan on getting. Primarily speaking, a new pipe!

Does anyone know if adding an aftermarket can will invalidate insurance/license etc? Particularly tempted by SC Project, Leo Vince and Two Brothers. I'm not looking for a system that's guna eek out more power as that will clearly put me over the limit, I simply need to make more noise, the stock can is dangerously quiet.

Have also read on another forum that some people had problems with the performance (namely fuel economy and backfires) after adding a new full system but this was not for an MT-07 so I thought it may differ from bike to bike.

Thanks in advance for any titbits you might have!

Exhausts are a very personal thing, but unless I had a bike that had terrible ground clearance or was truly hideous with the standard exhaust, then id only ever want to change a pipe (and a full system at that) to help increase bhp and or torque with appropriate tuning to suit.

No idea, chap.

I would be a little bit cautious on that particular bike though. When I've dicked around with exhausts the drop in back-pressure or scavenging has tended to induce a hesitation at low revs, just above idle. Given the issues that the MT-07 already has with that, and that you'll already be doing juju to it with a restrictor (I assume) then it would give me pause for thought.

Right'o.. I guess I'll have to take it up with my local and see what they think, thanks for your input, much appreciated.

Various comparisons here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLVU2hn4T94 The Yamaha approved Akra seems favourite.

Also if you haven't found this site yet it's certainly worth perusal, some pretty useful info therein. https://www.motorcycle-talk.net/forum/forum.php

I think that you should get the bike first, then ride it and have fun on it. Youbook and facetube ruined your judgement.

I also in the keep it standard camp most run much better standard unless you spend a shed load getting a full re- tune

Most if not all restrict kits specify standard exhaust
Most insurers expect you to notify i.e. pay more fro after
market exhaust

Fit louder horn, know when to use it. Cagers do not care about your loud exhaust.

Aye, louder horn and slower pace will help to avoid collision, not loud exhaust... Unobservant Cager is Unobservant Cager no matter what.

If the standard exhaust is good condition, why change anyways.

Yeah I've had a look at horn replacements already.. To be honest one of the main factors for me wanting to change it is purely aesthetics. I want to refine it to a nice deep rumble rather than the reportedly feeble whine of the stock can. Have considered just taking out the baffle of the stock, might be a good middle-ground, would any advise against that? If so how come?

At the end of the day I'm going to wait until i have it in front of me to make the final decision but i appreciate all your advice and experience beforehand.
