I know mate, I think it is a oil funnel, so that you can dispose of your oil into coke and lemonade bottles easily.
Looks good you noisy beggar! :smt118

Pah! Std bore pipe on VFR is 65mm into two 50mm pipes... Shame it has a humongous catalytic converter to bugger up the job!
Whole thing looks great Daz, looking forward to hearing it. Meet in the layby outside Bala Police Station for a sound test? :geek:
Looks lovely that, got to be honest I like the subtle look of the standard can tucked away where it is, but you cant beat noise :cool:

ive done it for now :) used some threaded bar with some nuts on to space out the rear pillion footpeg and the can hanger, now it hangs lower and meets the can :) still aint right but i'll mess again tomorrow :)
Get on the blower to Phoenix NW, they might be able to replace the missing bit for next to nothing. Spare yoshi parts are pretty cheap and they are the only UK importer.

same as mine that - nice..
mines a tight fit to the hangar too.. have to jiggle with the link pipe angle..
and if youever ever do put the baffle in smear it with lots of silcon or vaseline cos its a bummer to get back out..i put some mole grips on through a cloth but it still has knarled the edge of the baffle a bit.. other option is off with it and a broom handle down the can to knock it out..
u got a bargain there me paid around 260 for mine

as it worked out the hanger actualy hangs under the OE footpeg and it needs these spacer thingys to lower the hanger down a tad, anyhow now it fits and sounds sweeeeeeeeeeeeet :)

There is a guy who I sometimes see on my commute with a loud yoshi system on his GSXR
it is ear-spliting loud, i cant hear my SV over it even when he;s just at idle!!!
kwak zzr
28-05-09, 08:23 PM
sure its a yoshi and not a racefit pipe? i started the gixer up last night with just the link pipe on and it sounded ear splitting! the racefit pipe is very similar its just a slash cut pipe, this is the pipe i wanted but i go to work at 5:15am and i dont think my neighbours would agree :)

I'm not sure actualy. Whatever is on this bloke's GSXR, I can hear him from a mile off and keep well to the side to let him through :D
I'm falling for IL4's since riding this bandit, goddam the sound is great above 8000 rpm!! FI is crap on the bandit though. My father informs me his GSXR would fuel better than the Bandit. I think this is an invitation for me to try his bike?

Hehe aye. The GSXRs have always had pretty good injection on them, even back to 98 SRADs when they first came out. I think the troubles with new fuel injection is because of emissions regs being a load of commie $hite...

I think your right. The bandit surges from low down, its hard to get smooth acceleration...my SV is fueled alot better, and even that needs the carbs balanced (not done during my ownership!). I tried differant fuel (V-power) because i know that helps with my SV, but no differance with FI
And yes Kwak, i wil want it. Problem is, my dad dosnt want his pride and joy being used for anything other than sunny day riding, and I tend to go for a ride when i feel like it, even if its pee'ing down.
I will get some pics for you of it this weekend :D
yorkie_chris
28-05-09, 08:36 PM
Look at an older one when you get paid out for your off. You'll find a SRAD for £1500 or so, or maybe older for cheaper. But avoid the water boiling slingshots, too heavy.
