Put my FS, SS/CF Yoshi R77 on today. Lets cover the good news first. Once off the bike I put one of the bozooka cans on the scale - one single can with short pipe weighted 15.5 LBS!!
WOW I am very happy with the fit and finish of Yoshimura. The system is very very light and put together just perfect. Afterward I took the bike for a short spin. Not only is it more convenient and easier to adjust the chain etc. with a 4-1 system but the weight loss was very noticable
And it looks great. The sound is not loud (I kept the baffel in) so it suits me just fine for touring.
Now for the complaint - Whoever at Suzuki who designed these new plastics can kiss my
. Such a great performace bike and they made it so that it takes hours to pull the left and righ side off?
I was very carfull, done this b/4 chagning oil but this time ended up breaking off one of the male ends that go into the gromlet at the top of the cowel - near the tank.

This is another pic, you can see the piece that broke off sitting there in the center.

I pulled down but the damn thing is on so F'en tight that it just snapped. You should have heard me in the garage. I recal someone saying b/4 to take out the rubber gromlet. It makes it easier. I should have done that the first time. When all together with this pin broken it seems not to make much of a difference. But I wish one of you brillant members designs some after market pins/screws that can be taken on/off from the exterior. Even if I have to drill to put them in I feel it would be worth it. I like to see that if anyone has it. Otherwise there will be several of us buying new plastice now and again.
