Still one of my favourite looking bikes!

Thanks man. I’m going to try and have them both at the track this summer. I want a 10.5 1/4 mile on the bike and hopefully a 9.9 out of the supra but we will see!

That’s the best part for sure!

Best slip on pipes in my opinion 👌

Thanks boss 🙏

Ya she’s a fun bike to ride now! You can feel the back fires in the seat.

It’s definitely worth the upgrade 👌

How did you know how to set the fueling for the mid-pipe? Where do I get this information from. I have a power commander

There are pre set power commander settings online you can download for the specific exhaust set up you have. Just go to power commanders web sight.

@@JT2JZ I appreciate it man!

No worries.

Akrapovic is a good quality exhaust that sounds amazing in my opinion! Not excessively loud either.

Hell yeah brother 😆

Thanks man. How long have you owned yours? Do you love it?

@@JT2JZ I've only had it for a month but already love it

Same as me! I’m excited to get more seat time. Such a fun bike.

No worries man. I’m glad you enjoy the channel. Thanks for the support! Unfortunately the flush mount signals are a discontinued product. They are crazy bright to! The good stuff never sticks around.

They still have baffles. It’s a pretty clean crisp exhaust note but not obnoxious. No drone on highway either. I like the setup!

I struggled with the same issue! No matter how tight the clamp was it still leaked a bit. Take it back off and put a thin layer of muffler sealant paste on the joint. You should be good after that. I used muffler cement

The flat plate is definitely a smoother more efficient running engine at lower rpm. A lot better fuel mileage too. The Crossplane doesn’t really smooth out until it’s over 8000rpm if not more.

@@JT2JZ What do you think of 3 cylinder bike engines? I was a diehard 4 cylinder guy until I listened to a few 3 cylinder bikes and I really really fell in love with them. In fact, my girlfriend's daughter bought a Triumph Trident 660 and I really like that bike a lot! It has such a nice torque solid range and it sounds so amazing! I would really love to get the Trident Speed Triple 1200 RR myself, but I doubt I would ever spend the money on one.

I haven’t had the chance to ride a triple yet but I definitely like them. Triumph make a great bike and they sound awesome. The Yamaha MT-09 in-line 3 cylinder bikes seem to be getting very popular. They must be a fun ride!

@@JT2JZ Oh, nice! I didn't know Yamaha made a 3 cylinder bike. I used to own a Yamaha: an old FXR1000 with 5 valves per cylinder from the late 80s. It was a monster for it's time.

Sounds like a riot 👌

Sorry to hear that. I imagine these engines are not cheap

@@JT2JZ I got a 2013 with 17k for 1800 not that bad

Nice. That’s way better than I thought it would be.

@@JT2JZ same here, I was thinking about 2500 for it but no. And I found some who swaps them and works on bikes and he’s charging me 900 for the swap

The Crossplane r1 does run hotter than the r6 but not enough to where I would let that alone be the deciding factor on what bike you choose. It doesn’t bother me at all but I feel like some people are just picky. Both of these bikes will still run hot in start and stop traffic. They are both race bikes at the end of the day! I would say choose the bike based on the power / weight / handling / looks. Not on the heat that they make.

@@JT2JZ tbh my dilemma here is not power, I think 600cc is more than enough. But I just love the sound of the crossplane R1, it's larger size (I'm 6 1), and the way R1 looks with it's dual exhaust & fascia over the R6 Might sound ridiculous, but these are the only reasons I prefer R1 over the R6, am I crazy ? lol

I think you answered your own question. Buy the R1! That’s not crazy at all. At the end of the day these are toys we buy to enjoy and make us happy when we use them. If the sound and looks of the R1 are part of that experience for you then I say go for it. I agree every time I grab a hand full of throttle on my Crossplane I enjoy it more than any other bike I have rode. Sounds amazing and has the perfect amount of power for me. I absolutely love it.

@@johnexe1313 if you're not worried about power then look into the R7

That doesn’t sound normal to me. You should have two outer running lights and two low beam headlights on at all times. Make sure your stator output is good if you had flickering lights. I don’t have any other videos on this situation unfortunately

I’ve only had the privilege to ride a newer bike with ABS twice in my ten years of riding. Maybe I’m a bit old school but I actually prefer the raw feel of the older bikes most of the time. Maybe I’m a little bias and just haven’t had enough seat time on the newer machines but these bikes handle so well already I don’t really think you need or use the ABS 99% of the time. In a panic stop situation I’ve locked up the rear wheel before and the bike is still pretty planted. With all the weight on the front wheel I find an experienced rider still has plenty of control as the back wheel doesn’t do a whole lot and is more or less just along for the ride. I think I would be doing a stoppie with the back wheel in the air before loosing traction on a weighted front tire. Poor weather and rain it may be nice to have for a newer rider but if you are experienced and ride to the condition it’s still not bad. I do like the traction control as it seems to work pretty smooth and help put the power down but in conclusion I wouldn’t let ABS be the deciding factor for me buying a bike or not.

Always rode non abs bikes.. had a 17 plate cbr650f for work.. the abs is terrible I'd be worried having the abs on that more so than having a bike without it.. doesn't like to brake at all on bumpy surfaces. And you can't apply the brakes any kind of hard without it kicking in. Wasn't an issue either.. we had a fleet of 15 to 17 plates

It’s such a satisfying sound eh?

Did your oem exhaust gaskets need to be removed when installing?

@@michaelwells12 no idea. Bought mine back in march and the system was installed same day bike was first sold.

Yes the oem gasket comes off, it is to big to fit. The aftermarket pipes are a pretty tight fit and then just use the clamps

@@JT2JZ you're the man! Tysm. The gasket appears all but welded to the pipe, how did you take yours off? I've heard cutting it with a dremel or something similar to that

I modified it myself.

No I didn’t.

For my bike it crackles pretty good between 4000-5500rpm but the big backfires with flames are usually around 6000-6500rpm or so. Each bike can be slightly different though.

popping is a lean condition. you altered the stoichiometric ratio (air-fuel ratio) by removing the cat. your fuel map for your ECU was designed to work just right with the cat in place, so without it you’ll need to add fuel to the ratio with a power commander. the goal air fuel ratio is around 14.7 :1

I do have a power commander 5 delivering correct fueling for the intake and exhaust modifications. The crackles and pops are somewhat of a normal characteristic of the unique crossplane firing sequence.

@@ramos5875 Thanks Matt, I reckoned so as well, gonan get it tuned properly but on the fence as my country has really fxxed up and strict exhaust and emmission regulations.... sighs..... Right here we are getting a $1000 ticket for any illegal exhaust modifications. Sucks right??

@@JT2JZ Even with just the end cans will it throw off the air fuel ratio even when i leave the stock mid pipe on? I got to hear my bike when my friend rode it and it sounded really hollow. Seems like other than the decat midpipe, the previous owner had removed a portion of the exhaust packings in the exhaust

It sounds different but the performance gains are very small. You won’t feel it in the seat. If you want big power gains that you will actually feel get the ecu tuned.

Thank you very much for your attention. A big hug from Brazil.@@JT2JZ

Yes it’s the woman’s weapon of choice 💪

People will say you need to reflash the ecu or get a fuel commander when removing the cat to keep fuel trims safe but honestly I’ve put over 10,000 kms on bikes without a tune and ones with a tune and they both run flawlessly without having any issues. My R6 has no cat and is not tuned to this day, still runs perfect no issues. So to answer your question, is a tune 100% mandatory? I would say no from my experience.

@@JT2JZ Thanks for the reply!

Right

I’m here to help. What’s your question?

Congrats on the new bike 👌 It definitely still works without an ecu flash!

@@JT2JZ thanks for the reply dude, after watching your video, numerous times, I’m extremely tempted to get the mid pipe! Keep up the great work, and thanks again 👍

No worries man. I definitely think it was worth the money and is relatively easy to install.

@@JT2JZ thanks for the info bro, I’m thinking of getting the same decat that you got, and being in the U.K., and delkavic being based in the U.K., I’ll be able to get it and fitted in no time 👌

Sounds like it was meant to be!

I’ve been having issues with links lately. Sorry for the hassle. Sometimes when the links expire Amazon doesn’t have the items in stock anymore

I bought it off of Amazon but I’m having trouble finding it again. They may be out of stock by the looks of it.

The full system would be a sweet set up if you have the money but I know they are not cheap. If you are going for value I would say start with the cat delete. The stock header seems to flow ok for what it is. You won’t really get alot of performance out of the power commander 5, it’s more for keeping the bikes fuel trims safe. I’ve played around with the fuel maps a little bit but didn’t really notice a big change power wise when riding. The PC5 is going to be your easiest and best value when it comes to the tuning side. My bike does run perfect using it. If you are trying to squeeze every last horse power out of the bike I would say do the full exhaust and look into other tuning options for adjusting ignition timing. If you can advance ignition timing that’s where you will see big power gains.

full system is near pintless, cat delete and muffler is all you need. I gained a whole 2whp on mine with a set of $1200 headers...ended up selling them and going back to stock TI headers

Was that 2hp with an actual dyno tune? Ya that’s not a lot of value for the money spent.

@@JT2JZ yes, many others on the forums net 2-3hp max also. No way would i spend that money again. Luckily i bought it used before i realized how pointless they are after the tune and research, and then sold it for what i paid once i did realize it was a waste.

More or less just one of those look good parts. Did it change how the exhaust physically sounded at all?

Mine is a little bit tighter than factory but mine does not touch. What brand name did you go with?

@@JT2JZ I got delkevic as well. Found out that I actually didn't orient the cat delete the right way LOL its all good now.

Easy fix then. Glad it was simple for you.

Originally I had a power commander 5 but they are honestly not that great. You can get a real ecu flash for almost the same price and get way better performance

I was surprised as well

Still oem. No issues yet 🤞

The oem gasket no longer fits. You will just be using the clamps

@@JT2JZ sorry about the redundant question haha also the bike looks sick

Thanks man and no worries. I enjoy helping other when I get the chance.

Ya not enough weight savings to notice when riding. It does sound good though!

Lol… that’s like Captain America having a big breakfast! Ikr… we must all remember it’s a motor with a seat & 2 wheels….. it’s already blowing doors off cars & trucks! 150-190 horsepower! My friend has a 1300 Hayabusa! Yamaha R1 is already a light frame with 150 plus horsepower…. It’s fast enough for the streets already. I jus bought a 2001! Gtg new tires & helmet next!👌 Let’s ride everybody 🤠😲😂

Let me know if this one works

www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BN8HZY7X/ref=nosim?tag=jt2jz00-20

This one should work. Looks like that first link expired for some reason

Factory location still

So means you dont need to connect it to the new mid pipe?thank u much.👍🏾

There is a bung in the new mid pipe for the factory sensor. It sits in the same location but you need to transfer it into the new mid pipe.

@@JT2JZ cool..thanks alot..👍🏾💪🏾subscribed..🤔

Thanks for the support bro! The install is easier than you think. Don’t worry about it to much.

Be patient. Maybe use a little bit of penetrating fluid to help ease removal. It will come.

Everything always looks slow on camera.

I think you are right. The yoshi pipes are louder

I have a power commander 5 installed right now. I know that’s definitely not as good as a real tune but it’s better than nothing for now. It would be nice to get a proper tune where you can adjust ignition timing as well because that’s where you would actually gain power. Only adjusting fuel trims with the PC5 is basically just for safety and no major power gains.

@@JT2JZ so are you getting a tune in the future?

If my R1 was a 2015 or newer I would definitely get a dyno tune because they have a lot more freedom reading and modifying the stock ecu. I think options for real tunes are a lot more limited for the older generation bikes like mine unfortunately. I will probably just enjoy the bike how it’s currently set up and maybe play around with the power commander 5 setting a little bit more.

Definitely consider ecu flash it's the best $200 mod for these bikes it removes all the restrictions it really wakes these bikes up look up xplaner1customtuning.com Nick Marino is the best in the business as far as ecu tuning goes

Thanks for sharing that link! So it looks like you buy the datalink harness in order to unlock / flash the factory ecu? Then a tuner has complete control over the factory ecu similar to the newer 2015+ body style bikes?

Yes lots of backfires with the power commander. Recently got it pro tuned ( ecu flash from bauce racing ) no more back fires after.

I can’t keep anything stock

2012

@@JT2JZ ok thanks

@@JT2JZ I can’t decide 2012 or 2014 I was considering 2014 then I seen you’re sexy 2012 😂

2012-2014 will be the same sexy body style with the updated face lift from previous years (2009-2011). I would say buy what ever you can find a good deal on between the good years 12-14. I don’t really think they made any changes to the bike over the last few years of this body’s style. For me the hardest part was finding one black in colour. Seems like the majority of them are bright or multi colour schemes.
