If it's exactly the same why is there an adjuster at the bottom of the forks on the SP version and not on the standard one?

There is adjustment on the standard, they changed it in 2017.

So what are the differences between standard and SP?

Just the suspension and the colour scheme

So it's time to find a new exhaust..

I am 100% keeping this bike until next year, i promise

For me, the M4 is the nicest looking exhaust but i love the Yoshi can too.

Yoshi full system = £1150
M4 full system = £899
Akrapovic full system = £1450
Arrow full system = £750

Best option for me would be to buy the Black widow downpipes and fit either a Yoshi or M4 slip on.

Arrow system is no good, far too big and almost reaches the tail.

Here's the Yoshi, M4, Arrow and Akra systems.

M4 looks awful. Like cheap tat. Arrow is meh. Safe option, plan B, so to speak. Akra looks decent but the Yoshi wins hands down for me.

Captain · 20 May 2018 at 22:07

Yeah but £1150 for an exhaust lol... Even i'm not that silly with money..

Diddums · 20 May 2018 at 22:11

Go for the Arrow then. The M4 looks awful. Any idea what they sound like?

Arrow is too long, I'd need to cut the pipe down as i don't like how far back the exhaust goes.

Here's a better picture of the Yoshi full system.

They all sound good but the Yoshi and M4 look and sound the best.

Diddums · 20 May 2018 at 22:16

So you like the M4 and Yoshi but don't want to spend £115 on an exhaust? That's your answer then isn't it?

Snaggle · 20 May 2018 at 23:07

Yoshi for me . but if its an option i would decat with standard pipes and buy a can

Don't be a yob and remove the cat. Would you even get the bike mapped with such an exhaust?

Whats wrong with removing the cat ?

No mapping needed according to their website, I’ve removed the cat on everyone of my bikes.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess I think you know what my point is going to be

Without being all 'save the planet' decatting motorbikes is the same as people removing DPFs in their dagdags, it's a cheap shortcut for noise/cost/power which gives bikers a bad rep and is harmful for everyone</rant>

Not really something I care much about to be honest, I’ll remove the cat and fit a full system as it’s what I want to do.

Do I care about giving bikers a bad name for having a nice exhaust? Definitely not.
