2017 Yamaha R6 M4 Full Exhaust Install from Sportbiketrackgear.com

2017 Yamaha R6 M4 Full Exhaust Install
www.sportbiket...
The new 2017 Yamaha YZF-R6. M4 could have done what everyone else did and used the same exhaust for the 2017 R6. Instead they went back to the drawing board and designed a new system for the new bike. As you can see from the thumbnail, the exhaust is definitely Max Van approved! The exhaust system is also compatible with the 2006-2016 YZF-R6. We want to thank a local customer Ryan for donating his bike to us so we could install the new exhaust. Keep an eye on the channel, for more 2017 Yamaha YZF-R6 Videos.

[@nivbinyamini9409]

Great video Brain. Two question on this system. What did you do with the O2 cables? Looks like They still sitting there, you just tight them to the body? And if you don't want the O2 system How can you eliminate it?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Not sure if you are referring to the exhaust valve cables or the actual exhaust O2 sensors. If you are referring to the exhaust servo cables those are removed when the servo motor is removed and the servo eliminator is installed. If you are referring to the )2 sensors there are some ecu flashes that will eliminate the sensors so they can be removed from the bike. - Van

[@nivbinyamini9409]

Thanks Brain

[@RayBikeLife]

What do you think about getting a Sc project S1 with akrapovic headers? If I buy M4 full exhaust must I do something else like ECU or isn’t it necessary nothing else? Thanks and great video🤗

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You are welcome and thank you for watching! Personally I would go with the M4 full system rather than piece items together from different brands. After installing the system you will need to install a servo eliminator to keep the check engine light off. I would recommend riding the bike after installing the system to see if you are happy with the performance. If you are there is no need to flash or install a fuel controller. Below is a link to the exhaust servo eliminator to keep the engine light off: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/skutrnet-yamaha-yzf-r6-02-17-exhaust-servo-buddy/ - Van

Hey van, about to dive into the Yoshimura AT2 system exhaust on my 2020 R6. This video is super detailed and I want to start by saying thank you for always having amazing content. My question is. I have the AT2, sprint filter, and a bauc racing tune to support the mods. When I delete the servo cables and system. Do I still need the servo buddy? Or can I just delete the system since I have the bauc tune? Thanks in advance, and cheers from Kentucky!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would expect the Bauce racing tune to turn off the exhaust servo. You could shoot them a quick call to verify. - Van

[@easyagame]

If you remove both black servo cables off the pipe and install a slip on and decide to not remove them will that trip a code?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Yes it will still set a code. - Van

[@abrahamkhafajy8214]

Hello Van, i was wondering if you could make a video on how to replace an oil pan or fix it My friend recently bought a 2009 R6 with low km but the previous owner over tightened the oil drain bolts and when we opened it we saw that the oil pan thread was stripped I know two ways 1. re-drill it and use a bigger size bolt 2. change the oil pan if you have any other idea it would be great and if you could show how to remove the oil pan without removing full exhaust system that would be great too thanks in advance

[@aaronalmeda9335]

Hey Van, I installed this M4 exhaust close to a year ago now and put about 4000 miles with it on. As I have talked to people in the motorcycling world I have heard some people recommending a reflash tune on the motorcycle. I am a little timid with computer/electrical mods being done as it is out of my control and catastrophic failure is what keeps me from indulging. Is this something you would recommend? This exhaust sounds beautiful now that I have it on and the flames are wicked. Also thank you for all of your videos explaining the installs on this modifications. I don't think I would have the courage to work on my own bike if it wasn't for you. Aaron

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Happy to hear the video was helpful and you are enjoying the system. If you are happy with the performance of your bike there is no reason to make any changes to the fuel mapping. Just save the money and enjoy your bike. - Van

Hi there brian! Absolutely love the vids but was just curious why the full stainless system for the r6 is soo much cheaper than that on the gsxr 600? Cheers from NZ

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thanks for watching. I am sure M4 has some formula they use to find the retail price based on time to build and materials used. - Van

[@Logan-ix8vh]

How much would an install like this cost estimated if I provided the exuast kit looks pretty expensive 😯

That really depends on the shop you take it to. I would expect at least 2 hours labor with most shops being over 100$ per flat rate hour. - Van

@@sportbiketrackgear Thank you!

[@Marwixvlogs]

Hey STG, just a quick question. Im considering changing to this full system (slip-on) because right now I have the R6, mapped to my akrapovic full system, but it is not idling properly because of the pressure from the engine and I don't feel the whole power of the bike. However, when I mounted the original slip-on with akrapovic header, the bike ran SOO much better, probably because of less back pressure, and im considering changing to a sided slip-on like the one in the video and sell my long akrapovic slip-on I have right now. Would that also make a huge difference, and why does it run better with that slip-on instead of my akrapovic one? The bike felt more responsive and alive with "sided" slip-on. Thank you so much! 😊

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Have you taken the bike to the dyno to verify what you are feeling? As long as the bike has been mapped for the full Akrapovic system it should not decrease the performance. Akra is one of the best exhaust brands in the world, known for producing good power. Before you spend anymore money take the bike to a tuner with the Akra system and have the map reviewed. - Van

[@Marwixvlogs]

@@sportbiketrackgear Hello Van, thank you for your response! My ECU has been flashed by a company in England and sent back to me in Sweden. The idling has been an issue for a long time, but it doesn't happen when I have the db killer installed. I like to enjoy the sound of my full system, that's why I don't use the db killer which results in the engine acting weird. However, using my original slip-on with my akrapovic header made my R6 run incredible good. That's why im considering buying a GP slip-on instead to the headers and sell my muffler from Akrapovic. Basically im just swapping to another akrapovic product. The reason why I want to do this is mainly because some of my friends have told me it could be the pressure from the engine causing it to run lean and therefore make my idling weird. The company could also adjust the ECU, but I don't think I will get as much power out of my full system. What are your thoughts on this? I appreciate your time Van! =)

[@Marwixvlogs]

I actually just bought this color scheme bike last week, I really like I look and sound of the m4 only thing holding me back on purchasing it is not knowing if I need to do something with the fuel delivery and if so which system to go with?

[@warsok2151]

Why not using sensor eliminator plug isn’t the bike gonna run different and check engine light come on?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The owner of this bike was having the ECU flashed after he picked up the bike. Not sure if you are talking about the oxygen sensor or the exhaust servo. You can eliminate both with an ECU flash. - Van

[@warsok2151]

Sportbike Track Gear is there any software to download to flash ecu? or do we need to go to a motorcycle tuner?

I want this exhaust for my 2016 R6 , I just don’t know which Ecu flashtune kit to buy off your website as you have a type 1 and type 3 & type 1 is more expensive but I don’t see the extra benefit from it

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Personally I prefer the bench tune kit that allows you to flash the ECU at your desktop after removing it from the bike. With the bike side stuff you need to install the harness which takes a fair amount of work then you have to flash the bike in the garage or shop so you will most likely be on the wifi. Works better when you have a wired connection IMO. - Van

[@whowhatwuh]

Hey Brian what would you say is louder between this exhaust and the Hindle full system you installed on the 2008 r6?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I feel like they are pretty similar in sound levels. Pretty sure the Hindle system we installed was the EVO muffler and not their Megaphone muffler. Hindle offers a Megaphone full system for the R6 that is a little louder than this M4 system is.

And what are all the tools/sizes did you use

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Sorry this is an older video now and I do not remember. With all the projects we do most everything can be done with common hand tools. - Van

@SportbikeTrackGear what are the torque stock specs when tightened the flange for the M4?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The flanges on an aftermarket exhaust system are different than the OEM. For this reason I would not use the OEM torque spec. This is not something I would use a torque wrench on. You need to make sure the nuts are threaded on evenly on both sides and tighten them until the flange just begins to bend (do not tighten until you can see a big bend in the flange). Once you have them all even add a dab of high temp silicone to the exposed threads to ensure they stay put and you are good to go. - Van

Sportbike Track Gear thank you again!

What’s the best power commander map to run with this exhaust?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

IMO any of the full system maps will do a great job. If you are racing at a high level you should take the bike to a tuner and have a map built. - Van

[@tristinlee5606]

Is this the titanium one?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No this is the stainless steel version. - Van

nice work

[@apexhexatheon]

hmm i'm confused with 2 wires that at first it is installed at something beside the stock canister. After u install the m4 exhaust and turn on the bike, those 2 wires still on top of swing arm. Is it okay if u leave those 2 wires like that ?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Those are the exhaust servo cables, they attach to the exhaust flapper in the stock exhaust system and the servo motor in the tail. We shot another video installing the Skutrnet Sero Buddy on this R6 which allows us to remove the servo motor and cables from the bike without having a check engine light. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJjNYqmwo7dohdk - Van

[@m7md033]

One question sir, do I need a power commander with a full exhaust & an air filter? I have R6 19 please I need your advice.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You do not have to install a fuel controller if you prefer not to. To keep the check engine light off you will need the exhaust servo eliminator. Other than that install the system and ride the bike. If you are happy with the performance then leave it alone, want to get the maximum benefit install a fuel controller or flash the OEM ECU. Here is a link to the servo eliminator on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/skutrnet-yamaha-yzf-r6-02-17-exhaust-servo-buddy/ - Van

@@sportbiketrackgearhey there, is it alright to ride the bike a bit before doing the ecu flash? I’ve heard it will run lean and don’t want to risk any damage but I just want to ride it to the shop to do the flash. Thanks

can the muffler replaced it with other slip on?

No this pipe is designed to work with the M4 muffler. - Van

[@unknown-dw2qi]

Do you need a power commander when you switch the exhaust???

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I typically suggest installing the system and riding the bike. If you are happy with the performance then leave it alone. Want to get the most out it then you need to flash the ECU or install a fuel controller. - Van

[@unknown-dw2qi]

@@sportbiketrackgear what do I do with the servo cables left behind if I just leave it alone or while I get a fuel controller?

[@predatorgamingtv3077]

@@unknown-dw2qi You can either remove the entire Servo motor with the help of a servo buddy. But the easiest option is you can leave the cables dangling; just make sure you fasten them to your bike so they are flopping everywhere (make sure to fasten the black part of the cable, not the physical metal cable because that will restrict the wire from moving)

[@cruizer714]

What is the purpose of replacing a stock full exhaust with an aftermarket besides weight reduction?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Installing a good aftermarket system makes the bike look better, sound better, typically increases power and drops weight. Those are all good reasons IMO, especially the first 2! - Van

[@kevinadheen7237]

hey bro does he have a fuel management ? do you need one ?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

When installing a full system on this R6 you should do an ECU flash. Here is a link to this on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/flashtune-ecu-type-18-bench-tuner-kit-yamaha-yzf-r6-2017/ www.sportbiketrackgear.com/flashtune-ecu-type-8-bike-side-tune-kit-yamaha-yzf-r6-2017/

Hey, does anyone know if the r6 2006-2016 stock full exhaist is tje same of the 2017 r6

[@sportbiketrackgear]

That is a good question man. The aftermarket systems fit from 2006-current, not sure if the OEM is the same. Try to Google the OEM part number for the previous and current gen bikes to see if they are the same. - Van

[@manchild111]

Hey Brian. Love your site and love your channel. SUBBED and I am a customer. I have a couple ?'s Sir. I have a Matte Black '17 R6. Does this or any FULL exhaust require a flash or programmer? I'm not doing a high flow air filter just yet. I would do the filter when I had the ecu flashed. I may do the M4 Bread box eliminator kit. I would do re-flash but it may take me a few months to get it done. Would a full exhaust make her run TO lean? Can the stock ECU make the needed A/F corrections with just a FULL exhaust done??? Also I just need the header. I have a Toce tip. Would you sell Just the header??? Thank you ride safe and God Bless. Btw. Love Max. Hahaha. His face esplains it all brutha. LOLOL So cool.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thank you for all the kind words! If you want to put the full exhaust on the bike and get the tune done a little down the road it will not damage the bike. We have done this multiple times and never had an issue. If you want to use the Toce tip I would go with the M4 muffler box elim, no need to replace the entire header IMO. Thanks again! - Brian Van

[@manchild111]

Awesome. Thanks for the help Brian. Appreciate you brotha.
