Upgrading your motorcycle’s exhaust can have a profound impact on performance. Choosing the right system will depend on your goals, preferences, and budget. Many riders seek a balance between speed, weight reduction, and the aesthetics and sound of the bike.
A custom remap will ensure that your engine receives adequate fuel to match the increase in power from the exhaust system. Without it, the ratio of fuel to air may become unbalanced, leading to overheating and potentially serious engine damage. Check out more at motorcycle exhaust performance.
Graves Motorsports
Graves Motorsports is a manufacturer of racing parts and also a professional team that provides privateer racers with factory-quality components. They have a long list of trick performance accessories including rear sets, bars, exhaust systems, velocity stacks, marker lights and fender eliminator kits. They handcraft every piece with a passion for winning that shows in the gorgeous welds and machined components of their products.
When Graves threw his leg over the NSU in 1909, it was just the beginning of a legendary career. A mix of natural skill and audacity helped him establish himself as one of the founding fathers of American motorcycle racing. The 3.5″ wide pulley on the NSU gave him the ability to enter corners at full speed, while his competitors were struggling with the top heavy beast. The NSU also had a sprung-loaded crankshaft that reduced the bike’s weight and allowed it to accelerate quickly. The result was that he consistently landed on the podium and claimed a number of victories.
K&N
In order for an internal combustion engine to make power, it needs fuel and oxygen. The fuel mixes with the air delivered by an intake system and ignites at a spark plug. This creates an explosive force that pushes the piston downward-turning the crankshaft and producing a thrust. Airflow plays a crucial role in this process, and a K&N filter increases the airflow to your engine by replacing your factory air filter.
The company’s reusable filters use layers of pleated, breathable cotton and red filter oil to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently. They also feature a unique design that prevents dirt from sticking to the surface of the filter and allow it to easily flow through, delivering more power to your engine.
Each exhaust kit is designed for specific vehicle applications and underwent significant testing to help deliver optimum horsepower gains. Each kit features industry-leading quality paired with a simple, clean appearance and installs easily in less than 30 minutes.
YAMAHA
When you hear the name Yamaha, you may think of refined musical instruments or powerful motorcycles. This is no accident – Yamaha produces both!
Yamaha’s original ideas and forward vision have created a wide range of products that are unmatched in quality. Their motorcycles are designed to inspire the rider and create an exciting and unforgettable experience.
In the 1970’s, Yamaha technicians concentrated on developing four-stroke engines that met ever-increasing environmental laws and were more economical than the two-stroke twins that made them famous. The result was a line of bikes that included the TX500 double overhead camshaft, four-valve per cylinder twin of 1973 and the XS750 shaft drive, 650cc four-cylinder of 1977.
With over 40 years of racing success, Yamaha is a major force in MotoGP. Their racing team has won multiple world championships including seven in the 250 cc class with riders like Jarno Saarinen, Giacomo Agostini, and Bob Hannah. They have also won 210 races in the Isle of Man TT.
