Posted: 12:26 - 19 Apr 2021 Post subject: Yoshimura Torque Management System |
|
|
Hi all,
As discussed in a previous thread I pretty much decided that (barring anything throwing a spanner in the works) the first proper big-boy bike I was going to get is the 2021 Suzuki Katana.
I have been looking up parts and accessories for it and I have decided to go with the full Yoshimura titanium exhaust for it. While on their website I saw they do a modification they call the "Torque Management System", as shown at the link:
https://shop.yoshimura-jp.com/en/product/syousai.php?id=20196
Is it something worth getting and having installed on the bike or is it just some marketing wank? I was going to take it to a dyno & tune place since it was getting the exhaust changed so would need re-mapped anyway.
Also going to use a fender-delete kit since that rear fender looks fucking awful. Only other thing I need to consider is if changing the stock pipe will stop me putting panniers on it once in a while. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

It says it smooths torque through middle to top end. Is there a problem there on these bikes? I wouldn't have thought so. And any gains do seem to be right at the top, almost when maxed out, so I don't think it'd be that useful for a road bike.
I would say get the bike and ride it as is first, and see how you feel about such mods then. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Yeah but I rode my Chinese 125 during this last winter and to be honest I didn't it got bad enough to warrant heated grips. I will still get it though, better to have an not need than need and not have.

How much is it fitted in the UK? |
The part itself is £800ish and I don't know how much fitting would be but I reckon it's safe to assume it's a £1,000 mod.

Actually, that's a really good point since I won't be anywhere near topping the bike out in reality.

Is this because it could cause issues with warranty or because it would be a problem come its' first MOT? ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

This might be a stupid question, but changing the exhaust to a full-system probably invalidates your warranty right? |
I think any mod that increases engine performance could potentially do that. I don't know that it automatically would, but if you had engine/running problems of some kind, it might well do. It's possible that the manufacturer might have a list of authorised mods or after-market suppliers that don't. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Okey doke.
A pipe won't invalidate a Suzuki warranty. |
Fair enough.

You're planning to turn it into a beast for road use . Wise ?? who knows. |
I understand it though. When I started out I got my hands on the most powerful bike that I had fallen in love with just through reading about them in magazines, and was captured by the look too (Kawasaki GPz750 Turbo).
Just start in easy with it. If it's your first big bike, accept that you don't really know how to ride yet, learn slowly. But it probably isn't wise to tune it as well before you have any experience. You just won't have a clue how to use that power. You can always come to that later when you know a bit more what it's all about. On mine, I nearly came a cropper quite early on, only luck that I got away with it. It certainly taught me to respect the thing.
First time you really open the throttle, you'll probably think, feck me, this doesn't need any more power! anyway. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

When it comes to cosmetics, you do what you like.
For sound, just go for a decent can - save a fair bit of weight too, likely. If it's really loud, you'll probably get fed up with it soon enough, especially on long trips (and never mind what the neighbours think ). ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
