have been reading the 2014 blade has different sized link pipe diameter from 2012,2013 bikes....will i have too get a yoshi r77 specific to the 2014 bike
Yep, unless you change the headers too. The CAT is now part of the headers and has a 60mm diameter outlet (about 10mm bigger than previous models). Also the Lambda sensor is now mounted in the headers, near the CAT so no mounting boss required in the link pipe... It is possible that Yoshi make a link pipe to suit 2014 models that still fits the older can ???
Sure could ! Not that many options out there for 2014 models and adapting a pipe from an earlier model could be done but it's a lot of work and the bends aren't right causing things to clash a bit ! Trust me I looked at it but it would have been too much work and would probably look a bit shit in the end...
I did make that mistake. I was highly pissed off at the retailer from the US that I felt should have known, but he said that Yoshi hadn't told him either and he sold it to me in good faith. I suspect but I am unsure that the bracket that holds the can onto the mount point on the rearset may be different as the footpeg was moved 1cm back. Therefore the Yoshi pipe is a different part number, whereas similar Akras which use a carbon fibre sling which can move are the same part number for both the 12-13 and 14 models.
No, this bike won't be going to the track, have a project bike for that, saying that I think it'd be boaderline at best !
