The Yoshimura company has developed a lightweight exhaust system for ultrafast model of Suzuki Hayabusa and the popular B-King motorcycle.
The new system weighs only 5,6 kg – it's 75% lighter than the standard one of Suzuki which weighs 21 kg. According to the developers, the design significantly improves the characteristics of engine, but how – it's kept secret.
A tuning component does not exceed the noise limit (daytime) of 99 decibels. Nozzles for silencer are removable: while dismantling these, the characteristics of motorcycle are improved, but the noise being made does not meet the European requirements.
The designers offer a few variants of exhaust systems: of stainless steel, titanium or carbon fiber. Being ready-fitted its cost ranges from £904 to £1017.
A similar kit has been designed for tuning of Suzuki B-King. Installation of an improved exhaust system will make the motorcycle lighter in weight to 2,9 kg.
