Flapper Mod

I have a 2004 1000rr , did the flapper mod yesterday . I am not planning any other mods until winter, due to funds will this mod be alright by itself?

Was the first mod i did and didn't have any neg affects. Would think you'll be fine considering its really there mostly for noise anyway.

Thanks for the input . By the way how do you like the Yosh.

I'm diggin it !! Have heard some good/bad about it, but for what i paid for it, (240) i'd say bang for the buck wise, its the poo. Fit nice, and had some pretty good instuction w/it, which some of the others don't have. Nice lookin can too, i think. I'm sure there is better out there, but i have gotten some compliments on it at bike nights. Was lookin at the arata too, but its more than twice the price of the yosh. Maybe when i toast it i'll upgrade !!

I'm trying to decide between the Yosh or the Jardine RT-One dual outlet carbon fiber slip-on.

if those are your only two options go with the jardine

yosh just isnt the pipe for these bike

5hp increase is the norm

yup..yosh won't give u the amount of power like akra, sato and arata will give..If you've got the cash get either 1 of these pipes.. I've gain only 4 hp with PC III using a yosh slip-on..you do the mathematics...

Remove the flapper..cut the fins in the air duct..remove the PAIR valve..remove the exhaust catalyser..remove the exhaust valve(if you got the slip-on)..PC III..BMC air filter and u will be surprise at the power gained without installing the full system..

Wasn't sayin its the best "i'm sure there is better" but from a bang for the buck standpoint, its a good choice, i think. For what i paid for it, i have done all the other mods listed, and a fe kit, and nice no-cut frame slides on the way, and STILL have $$ left compaired to buying a arata/sato. Like e/thing else in life it has its good and bad points. If hp was my main concern, i wouldn't have purchased the honda either !!

What type of no cut frame sliders are you going to use?

take a stock exhaust, punch out the baffles,
do the flapper mod and get a good tune with a PC3 and it will equal that of a yosh pipe and then the only exhaust you had to pay for is the 1" drill bit and extension used to punch the stock
i punched out my exhaust and it sounded at least as good as every yosh i have heard
the bike doesnt need a pipe to begin with but if you are going to get one
get one that works

dont settle on substandard parts just so you can say i have a pipe

Ordered the motovation sliders. Was gonna go w/the shoguns till i read about em bending into the engine, even at low/no speed. E/one is out of stock of em right now, but sposed to have more by the mid of this week.

good choice on MotoVation ... i bet i know someone who has them in stock for less than what you might think

Who dat ??

Again thank you for the information on the frame sliders I will check them out .

No problem. They are sposed to be showing up early next week. Can give you an update then if you want. Hopefully, I'll never have the opportunity to tell you how they work tho !!

I have the Jardine, dual outlet, titanium with carbon fiber for sale. asking 350 for it. has less than 50 miles on it, looks awesome but just to loud for my old ass! Jon 803-600-6596 or jsovde@sc.rr.com

Does the flapper usually stay open at an idle when bike is left stock? My Repsol flapper always appears to be open when the bike is at an idle is this normal or should it be closed and open at higher rpm's.

closed at idle
opens around 5K if i remember right

So I ho do you remove or modify the flapper, Just purchased an 06 1000 install a yosh RS5 carbon with carbon tip slip-on, power commander and bmc air filter. Any sugeestions,

I have a set of Motovations sliders and love them. It took me a little time to install them due to the fact the instructions are not very clear and I was a little nervious about taking bolts out of my brand new bike, but once I got over that they were no trouble.
A+

I have a Yosh RS-5 carbon cone exhaust.  It sounds great and looks great. I had an RS-3 on my old gixxer that took a beating and held up fantastic (Took an impact from a car at around 25mph).  I couldn't get myselft to spend 600 bucks on a slip on exhaust.  To me it's not worth the money for 3 or 4 more whp.  The bikes already make enough in bone stock form, more than 99% of us can handle.  After having the yosh pipe I had on my suzuki I was sold on Yoshimura.  I definately wouldn't call it a substandard part from personal experience.

Yosh may be the pipe to get for the Suzuki GSX-R's but their performance on Honda's CBR line is far from desireable.

As I was riding home yesterday I came up with this idea. Sence this is such a hot discussed topic I thought I would try to get more information on the flapper. I will hook a vacuum gauge up and tape it to the tank so I can monitor it's readings. This will tell me what speed, RPM and possably gear this thing is working at. I will post some information soon if anyone cares.

Thank for the information , guys, keep it shinny side up.
