Yoshis From America ?

Coolio.

Have just imported in a Titanium R77 system for my 600. Looks so sweet!. Couldnt afford the Jap Ti race system but the R77 looks just as nice.

Nice, it's the R-77 I've got too. Although I will only be buying the S/S headers, the Ti is expensive enough that the people at Yoshi USA recommended I sold my end can and bought the whole system if I wanted a Ti one!

I understand the finish of the end can doesnt matter, well for the GSXR600 fitment anyway. As far as i can see the R77 can from the stainless system will fit the Ti system. Unless the bore is different as the Ti system is classed as the race developed part.

You'll have to speak to Crescent, they do all the remap work for me as i am a guy in his own garage (although I still built an SV800 in it).

Yeah I think fitment (and finish) is the same - it's just that buying the parts separately, it didn't make any sense. I guess I'm losing out a little as I'm buying the S/S system separately.

Unfortunately I don't have figures for the Ti as I use my contact in the US (ok ok father in law but that doesn't sound as good ) and he didn't question further on that comment by the Yoshi person!

Pah ... should have carbs. Jet it by rse. Taken me 6 months but it's spot on now!

This, my friends, is later

The text actually says (context is that it is talking about care of the exhaust):

Repack your street exhaust system every 5,000 miles. Repack your off-road system every 8-10 hours of use or every 2 motos, whichever comes first. Carbon Fiber will be damaged without the protection of proper packing. High temperatures (such as dyno testing) will cause the resin in the carbon fiber to break down. Note: This situation will void your warranty.

It seems a little unclear - it's not strictly saying that dyno testing voids the warranty - but that high temperatures void the warranty, of which it considers dyno testing to be an example. I guess if it came to it, if you could prove the dyno testing did not cause high enough temperatures, you might have a get out.

But, none of that applies to me, because a) my warranty won't stand, or at least will be difficult to use, and b) if my can blew on the dyno, it would probably be because of the temperature, and thus any warranty most certainly would be void!

As mentioned I still want to be able to put it on, I just need to have some confidence it isn't going to all go wrong

There are loads of Carbon Yoshi's in the UK on many bikes, you should be ok.

Yeah I was thinking the same....just that Yoshi quote above got me worried - not that it would void my warranty, but that it would actually blow.

As you say...should be OK though...SV650Racer also says this, so 2/2 and I'm convinced just gotta get the rest of the exhaust, should be ordering it tomorrow assuming the price hasn't changed (in dollars, the exchange rate is obviously a bit volatile at the moment).
