    Maybe I just got a bad one but I think my R77 is shit.

    It blew the sleeve to pieces with the baffle in and its too loud with it out and Yoshi say you should repack it every 5000 miles. That was their excuse as to why mine blew itself to pieces after 10000 miles.

    I'd never buy another Yoshi but everyone else seems to like them.
    I'm probably going to take mine off and put the original back on and just leave the flap open.

    Thank you. Its a 2011. Have you got a couple R77s? I'd be looking for the carbon fibre. Thank you sir.

    I just put a stainless R77 on my blade. Fitting was straight forward and only took 30 mins. No problem with the gap either (just take your time to line everything up properly before tightening the fixings). I also got mine from Tom at Biohazard, saved me a lot of money and I only paid £28 in duty too. No problems with surging either. Get one.

    Mine lacked a bit of ground clearence and the baffle was a little too big to fit at first. Great exhaust, nice build quality. 09 abs blade.

    I've got to have one. Most people seem to pay around 30 quid customs charge when ordered from biohazard. Just hope I don't get stung like people that have had hideous tax and import duties.

    The yoshi looks great and is an easy enough fit. No better no worse but my issue with youshimura is the quality. After a year it can look quite bad. Akrapovic on the other hand is like honda. No matter how dirty or manky it gets just clean it and it will look like new.

    That sounds a bit disappointing. A carbon yoshimura I've had in the past, the finish was a bit iffy on the stainless steel end cap - starting to tarnish and couldn't revive it.
