Oh hell yes. The exhaust showed up today. I will admit, I first made the mistake of not reading the installation instructions because it seemed pretty straight forward... I installed the yoshi system using the original header crush gaskets. WRONG. The bottom edge of the radiator hits the headers. I guess you are supposed to install the header with no gaskets for clearance. My bad, so I did it over again and installed system with no gaskets, still hits. WTF. So I just installed a 1/2 billet spacer on the lower radiator mount so it would clear the headers. Got it fired up and it sounds amazing. I am still yet to reinstall the fairings, but it should be done tomorrow. Hoping I don't have any fitment issues with the radiator being spaced out at the bottom..

sorry for the delay. Here's the pics of it all done. I love it. The sound is great. It runs great with the dano's flash. I feel it could still benefit from a dyno tune, but theres really no need to rush into that. I dont get and popping at all. All around this was an excellent upgrade.

I finally got a chance to take the bike out and open it up last night. It felt really great, and very smooth. It may not be a big hp gain when looking at the numbers, but it made a big difference in how the bike accelerates. I saw very big numbers on my dash in much less distance than was previously required. It feels like the bike it always should have been. Highly recommend Full system and Dano's Performance flash.

I havnt been on since I was last posted. Just replied to your other thread, I am the same way, I love how the bike handles with my flash and such. its probably 95% dialed in. The other few percent just isnt worth the effort to me tbh. I have -1 down front sprocket + danos flash= perfect.

Glad you like it, I did pair valve removal or whatever. No backfiring or anything, Not sure if you did it yet. I removed it all, cleaned up the spark plug engine area a lot.


Only last mod i'd recommend as a daily rider, is a SpeedoDRD.. its 70 bucks bro. but, I have my speedo dialed in 99% on purpose. I left the last 1% so when I am going 70 on dash, im actually going 69 gave me little buffer room so the local cops wont mess around with me. The stock speedo with -1 in front is off quite a bit ontop of it being off from factory.

I like the idea of the variable damper that comes on the bike, so I chose to keep the stock damper active. Dano's just left that part alone. They call you to verify what all you do or do not want to change. They were very professional through the whole process, and it was all done lightning fast.

Motion Pro R1 throttle tube installed. pretty simple install. No need to lift the tank or anything else. Just loosen the throttle adjuster sleeve and carefully remove and install both cables and re-adjust. I re-used my stock grip. That was the hardest part, getting the grip off of the stock tube. Basically turned it inside out to get off of the tube, then flipped it again so it was right side out. It will be slightly loose fitting on the new tube, so I used some boat bellows adhesive to glue the grip to the tube. Bellows adhesive is similar to weatherstrip adhesive. same same. I haven't riden yet since install but I'm excited to. For $9 how can you go wrong?

Any particular reason you went for the R1 tube instead of the R6? I'm toying with the idea of changing my stock tube on the k7 600 but haven't decided what to go for yet.

Oh good point, I replaced mine with a motion pro kill switch. I didn't have any other buttons on there. My buddy cut his similar to yours. I still like it, would never go back to stock lol

Thanks @J.GILKY, as I ride on the street, I think I will do the same mod after all.

Is there a specific year/part number for the R1 tube that you used?

I looked into the motion pro but it works out a bit expensive with the new switch etc.

@Ozsyd600 The sleeve I bought is the Motion Pro 01-0094 Throttle Sleeve. According to Motion Pro this sleeve fits many different bikes including 1998-2014 Yamaha R1. Now you should now, the stock grip does not fit as tight on the motion pro sleeve as it did on your stock sleeve, so you have to use some adhesive. They sell special adhesive for it and I would probably just go ahead and order the correct adhesive. I used some boat bellows adhesive, and although its kind of working, it didn't harden as much as it should and in direct hot sun it seems to get soft and the grip can move a little. So just use the right stuff. The grip is only $9.71 and free prime shipping on amazon. I think next time I would just buy the tube with factory grip installed from the dealer for a better fit / no adhesive.

update on the new throttle tube and grip install. I have since gotten used to the new throttle and it feels good. Its just a learning curve getting used to the more sensitive throttle, but I like it now. I ordered another factory tube with grip anyways just so I have it. The grip is staying on the motion pro tube ok with the adhesive I used. I have since installed some new Rizoma bar ends and a Zero Gravity double bubble windscreen. I like the windscreen a lot, helps to cut the wind.

So, I liked the wing decal I had on the side of the bike, but I wanted something more, and something a little less generic looking. So I found a decal of egyptian god Anubis. I think it turned out perfect. Subtle, but loud at the same time. I love it.

It came from ETSY.com
The seller is StateOfTheWall.
And yes they do custom orders. Many different colors, any size and orientation you want. And they have many designs to choose from as well. The price was fair for custom work and the shipping was lightning fast.

Heres a pic of the new levers and bar ends. I bought the cheap CNC levers on ebay to see how I like the shorty design. Surprisingly the fitment quality is very good. I have felt other aftermarket levers that flopped around and felt very loose, but these fit and look great.

So after going for a ride with the new levers, I have to say that I kinda like the short clutch, but something didn't feel right with the brake. It's was too soft/had to pull it to far to get stopping power even on the full tight adjustment. So I modified the little pocket that the master cylinder plunger sits into and it feels better now. I stumbled on a really cheap genuine set of pazzo levers last night so I bought those too. We'll see if the is any difference in fitment.
