FAQs
Does this system come with everything needed for installation?
Yes, the Racing Line is a complete full exhaust system and includes the necessary headers and mounting hardware, though new exhaust port gaskets are highly recommended.
Can I keep my stock Yamaha center stand with this exhaust?
Yes, this specific Akrapovic system is designed with sufficient clearance to accommodate the original Yamaha center stand.
Is an ECU remapping necessary?
While the bike may run without it, an ECU reflash is highly recommended to fully realize the power gains and ensure the engine maintains proper air-fuel ratios with the increased airflow.
How do I maintain the carbon fiber finish?
Keep the carbon fiber clean using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that can damage the clear coat.
Is this exhaust street legal?
Because this is a performance-focused racing line system, you should check your local noise and emissions regulations as it may not meet street-legal criteria in all jurisdictions.
Troubleshooting
Exhaust backfiring or popping on deceleration
This is often a sign of a lean fuel mixture. Consider installing a fuel controller or getting an ECU reflash to match the high-flow characteristics of the exhaust.
Vibrations or rattling noises
Check that all springs are properly hooked into their respective anchors and that the muffler clamp is torqued to the manufacturer's specified setting.
