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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Like I said, I really didn't care about the gains. The bike makes PLENTY enough power already for anyone. I just wanted some sound and looks from a pipe that's durable. I'm sure it freed up some hp because the exhaust valve is gone and the stock can looks restrictive. I got the pipe new off ebay at a decent price that I couldn't turn down. It did however come with a silencer, but a drill and rivet gun took care of it in less than 30 mins.
