Ok, I am new to the motorcycle world and have been riding my 00 f4 for about 2000 miles. So far so good.

My question is, I bought the bike with an Erion exhaust on it, but I dont know if its a full or just slip on. I looked at it from underneath, and its all one peice and doesnt look like a slip on. But the header does lOOk stock. I just dont know if its is or not.

Ok so if its a full then I should rejet right? Because the guy that had it before me said he didnt yet. I just recently did a full tune up on it and added a k&n filter.

So as of now I have a K&N filter and an unknown Erion exhaust because I am way to new to bikes.

I want to rejet, but what kit/combo is the best bet for me. I am mechanically inclined enough to do it. I have done alot of work on cars, butthis is my first stab at bikes.

I dont have any places in my town that have a dyno, so I will be pretty much installing everything by what should work for my setup. Any bit of info and experience will be greatly apreciated.

Thanks
Chris

Damn, is this an dumb question, or do I need to reexplain myself?

I wish I could tell you how to tell the difference between a slip on and a full system. What I can tell you is if it is a full system you will need to rejet. Here is a dyno jet kit from Parts 411.

i dont know the diffrence between a slip on and full by what u said but i would deffinatlly rejet it you can go dyno jet or k and n the kit is exactly the same as dyno jet they make it for k and n and it seems to be a lil cheaper full exhaust of not the rejetting will give u a much quicker throttle responce hope that helps a little

What exactly does re-jetting do? I understand better throttle response, but what are you doing if you re-jet?

Changing the the little "jets" in your carbureator so more fuel flows into the engine.

when you buy the kit there are jets needles e clips and springs that are designed for a better fuel flow
