FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Scorpion RP-1 GP exhaust?

The primary benefits are a significant increase in horsepower (4-5 bhp) and a substantial reduction in weight (up to 9kg) compared to the stock exhaust, leading to improved performance and handling.

Is this exhaust legal for road use?

The exhaust is designed for performance, and depending on local regulations, an optional 'dB Killer' insert may be required for road legality or to meet noise restrictions.

What materials are used in the construction of this exhaust?

The silencers are hand-fabricated using aerospace-grade satin titanium or carbon fibre composites, and the pipework is crafted from lightweight titanium.

Does this exhaust fit my Yamaha YZF 600 R6?

This specific model is designed for Yamaha YZF 600 R6 motorcycles manufactured between 2006 and 2017.

How much weight does the Scorpion RP-1 GP exhaust save?

It offers weight savings of up to 9kg over the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) system.

Is professional installation recommended?

Yes, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure correct fitment, sealing, and optimal performance.

Can I use this exhaust for track days?

Yes, it is ideal for track days. An optional 'dB Killer' insert is available for those who need to comply with track noise regulations.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust leaks detected at connection points.

Ensure all clamps and mounting hardware are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Check that all gaskets are correctly seated and in good condition. Re-apply exhaust paste if necessary.

Reduced performance or engine misfiring.

Verify that the exhaust is the correct model for your bike and that it has been installed correctly. Check for any blockages within the exhaust system. Ensure the 'dB Killer' (if installed) is fitted correctly or removed if not required.

Loud, unexpected exhaust noise.

If the 'dB Killer' is installed, ensure it is securely fastened. If the noise persists without the 'dB Killer', it may indicate internal packing degradation over time, which might require servicing or replacement of internal components.

Discoloration or fading of the carbon fibre or titanium.

This can be a natural effect of prolonged exposure to high heat. Clean with appropriate materials and consider using a heat-resistant protective coating or wax designed for exhaust systems. Ensure proper airflow around the exhaust during operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This Scorpion RP-1 GP Carbon Round Exhaust is specifically designed to fit the Yamaha YZF 600 R6 models from 2006 to 2017. Ensure your motorcycle model and year match this specification before installation.

Setup:

Installation of the exhaust system typically involves removing the original exhaust and fitting the new Scorpion system. It is recommended that this process be carried out by a qualified motorcycle mechanic to ensure correct fitment and sealing. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. Refer to the specific installation manual provided with the exhaust for detailed steps.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Scorpion exhaust:

  1. Cleaning: Regularly clean the exhaust with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt or grime, use a mild, non-abrasive motorcycle cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, especially on the carbon fibre elements.
  2. Carbon Fibre Care: If applicable, carbon fibre sections can be polished with a specific carbon fibre cleaner or a high-quality automotive wax to maintain their gloss.
  3. Inspection: Periodically check all mounting points and connections for tightness and integrity.
  4. Heat Management: While designed for high temperatures, prolonged extreme heat cycles can affect finish over time. Ensure the exhaust is properly mounted to allow for adequate cooling.
