Yoshimura mid-pipe for CB1000R
Hot on the heels of Yoshimura’s CB1000R EU-approved slip-on is the release of the racing mid-pipe, which eliminates the need for the stock bike’s catalyzer chamber and negates the requirement for a full exhaust system. Mated to the EU slip-on, minus the dB-killer, peak power, engine driveability and low and mid-range torque are improved. Weighing in at just 0.9kg, the Yoshimura part saves 3.1kg over the OE item.
When used with an open exhaust the free-flowing Yoshimura mid-pipe will make the exhaust gas leaner than optimum, so adjustment of the fuel injection map to enrich air/fuel balance is required (e.g. by a Power Commander). If neglected, use under lean conditions may cause severe engine damage. Also, the EU approval number as marked will not be valid for road use.
The cost of the Yoshimura mid-pipe is £310.37 and delivery is expected in April, 2010.
