FAQs

Is this exhaust compatible with my 2020 Yamaha R1?

No, the Scorpion RP1-GP Exhaust is specifically designed for Yamaha YZF R1 / R1M models from 2015 to 2019. Compatibility with other model years is not guaranteed.

Does this exhaust require a dB killer?

The RP1-GP series is designed for performance. An optional 'dB Killer' insert is available for trackday enthusiasts who may need to reduce noise levels, but the base system does not require one for road use as per its design.

Will this exhaust void my motorcycle's warranty?

Installing an aftermarket exhaust system may affect your motorcycle's manufacturer warranty. It is advisable to check your specific warranty policy with Yamaha.

What is the typical performance gain?

The Scorpion RP1-GP Exhaust typically provides a performance gain of between 4 to 5 bhp.

How much weight does this system save?

This exhaust system offers significant weight savings, up to 9kg compared to the OEM exhaust.

What materials are used in the RP1-GP exhaust?

The pipework is crafted from lightweight titanium with 'lobster claw' bends. The silencer and pipework covers (where applicable) are made from aerospace-grade satin titanium or carbon composites.

Can I install this myself?

While possible for experienced individuals, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure proper fitment, safety, and optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust leaks at connection points

Ensure all clamps and mounting hardware are securely tightened. Check gaskets for damage and replace if necessary. Re-torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.

Reduced performance after installation

Verify that the exhaust system is correctly installed and that there are no internal blockages. Consider having the motorcycle's ECU remapped to take full advantage of the new exhaust system.

Excessive noise levels

Check if the optional 'dB Killer' insert is installed correctly (if applicable and purchased). Note that this system is designed for performance and will have a louder tone than the stock exhaust.

Discoloration of titanium pipework

Titanium naturally discolors (blues/purples) when exposed to high heat, which is a normal characteristic and does not affect performance or structural integrity. Regular cleaning can help maintain appearance.

Setup: Installation of the Scorpion RP1-GP Exhaust should ideally be performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic. Proper fitment is crucial for performance and safety.
