Hi Just purchased a 2009 fireblade that im picking up saturday (cant freaking wait btw). Do you experienced owners have any advice? Im looking to get a new exhaust, whats the situation with the servos in the muffler, etc. Does it run ok when you remove them to fit an aftermarket system on? Also whats a good system to buy? ive seen systems that have an S-bend link pipe and some are more straight? Is that a different model or do they both fit? I thank you in advance and please excuse my ignorance lol
HM GP Quickshifter and levers. Unfortunately I can't advise on the later models re exhaust Welcome to the forum and enjoy your new bike but be careful round this time of the year.
Race fit exhaust is very popular at the moment, then I'd say look at Akrapovic, Yoshi or Leo Vince. Most are slip on cans using a link pipe with the OE headers. You can run without a PCV I'm most cases but always a good idea to get the mapping sorted to get the best out of the setup. Congrats on the new bike looking forward to seeing the pics !! Also as said HM plus or GP Quickshifters are excellent for road or track if you fancied one, but the list of bits you should fit would be endless
A can is a must. It just doesnt sound right with the standard dustbin pipe on. I use a Yoshi, but you won't go wrong with any of the ones Jamie recommended. I did hear that the Leo vince works better with a Power commander though, so you'd probably need to factor in and extra 300 quid. Once you start modding though it's a slippery slope lol
Ive a leo vince. Full race system so maybe not comparable to a half system but ill tell you something, the can is gorgeous
welcome mate go steady when you pick it up,have a look in the gallery fella for some ideas but be warned there is some seriously tastey bikes in there which could lead to you spending a lot of money
Exhaust is matter of personal choice tbh! You can get akrapovic's that come with a cat fitted and still use the servo or others like the racefit that makes the servo obsolete, all you have to do is make your choice then disconnect the servo cable if needed
Welcome to the forum Bloy, it's a great place for all things to do with Blades and sweets........By the way what sort of sweets do you like?
racefit, arrow GP2 are nice loud pipes that have a straight link pipe, the rest have the S bend... google cbr1000rr 2009 + akra/leo vince/racefit/arrow to get pics of the can, then see which one you like and then do a search here, you'll find some great info here... did I read correct saying a nice bunch of people here??? on this forum??? your having a laugh aren't you? there all a bunch of .......
Welcome to the forum, you've chosen a good day to get the bike ! (rain rain and more f***ing rain) But Leo Vince are very popular.
Yes your right about the rain! Its safe in my garage now! Just looking forward to the summer so i can really use its potential! heres a cheeky picture stealth blade!
Welcome to the forum mate.. Nice place with lots of advice .. You're blade looks lovely but defo wants a can on. I have a carbon termignoni one for sale in the for sale section. Here's a link to see what it sounds like All the best fella 2013 Cbr 1000rr abs repsol fireblade termignoni - YouTube
Yep the exhaust fits. All models from 08-13 have the same figment for end cans or full systems. You'll need an 08-11 fairing infill piece if you want to cover the pipe up ( the belly pans are slightly different shape.. I'm after 345 for the termi if its being delivered ( fully insured ) or 320 if you'd like to collect. They retail about 500 and its a bonnie piece of kit http://1000rr.co.uk/parts-accessories-clothing/15032.htm You'll not be disappointed with it I promise .. Are you planning any other mods ? Exiting times eh
