Man, this bike - after everything is done to it - is gonna be awesome. Can't wait to see it finished. Congratulations on the projects you guys do, that's something different from others.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thank you, we enjoy the progress as well and being able to give something cool like this to one of our customers! ~Aubrey

[@jasonhoffman7290]

Graves stuff always looks and sounds so good. If they made an exhaust for Triumph, I would have definitely looked at them.

[@rickyw.2631]

Do u have a street triple? They're really nice!

[@Shogun09R1]

Nice install. O2 sensor unplug...Bravo! =)

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I had you in mind when I did that! - Van

[@drmatt357]

Great job on the video sir... especially the camera man!

[@BensleyH]

This thing is sweet! I'd be stoked to win either bike as I don't have one right now :( I had to sell it. This thing is going to be even more fantastic when it's done!

[@LOOKWHATISEEHERE]

Awesome man.

[@NZsarge1]

Golden!

[@toysareforboys1]

DropAGearDisappear Forgot you asked about the fuel too. They are planning to put on a fuel controller (such as Power Commander or Bazzaz) to correct the AFR. After you install a super free flowing exhaust (like their previous M4 slipon or this Graves full system) it really messes up how much air the bike is expecting to enter the engine (as well as tons of other factors that get messed up like back pressure, intake resonance, exhaust resonance, fresh air inversion, etc.) so it doesn't add the correct amount of fuel (contrary to popular belief the factory O2 sensor is ONLY used at steady throttle highway type conditions so is useless for correcting the fuel when you mess with the exhaust). This usually causes a very snappy throttle (jerky throttle response) and a loss of power down low (too lean) and in some cases surging on acceleration. In extreme cases it can run so lean you can burn valves and permanently damage the engine. I hope they are planning to reflash the ECU instead of just adding on a fuel controller though! A flashed ECU works great without any fuel controller (power commander, bazzaz) but also works amazing with Power Commander AutoTune!! www.stoltecmoto.com/shop/fz-09/14-fz-09-ecu-reflash/

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We will be adding a fuel controller soon. To be honest the bike runs fine at this point, no negative performance from the exhaust changes with the exception of the need for the block off plates which are sitting on my desk. Throttle response in not very jerky IMO, easy to keep smooth with good throttle control. As far as being lean to the point of internal engine damage that is something I have never seen happen with any current, modern fuel injected bikes. That said the performance does improve with proper tuning.

[@toysareforboys1]

Sportbike Track Gear Yeah, the only time I've seen super scary engine damage kinda lean is on a current Ducati, new air filter and full custom exhaust = afr over 16:1. Was an 1199. Really nice flames though! Glad to hear the FZ09 runs OK with the current modifications you've done :) Did you check out the ECU flash I linked up? Are you guys planning on running Autotune?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

toysareforboys1 Pretty sure we will be running the Bazzaz with the Z-Afm Self Mapper. I looked at the ECU Flash and honestly I have zero experience with it at this point. Planning on getting up to speed with the reflash options out there.

[@mikenemec8507]

toysareforboys1 So I saw read your post below about the AIS pump and how you could theoretically just unplug the power to the pump and that would solve the popping on decel. Would it be smart to get block off plates as well to seal those holes or is it fine if you just leave the pump there unplugged? BTW im in the process of installing a exhaust so ill be removing the cat. Also i have heard most people recommend leaving in the DB killer on the pipe unless installing a fuel controller due to the increased popping on decel. Would unpluging the AIS fix this problem or would the bike still need the ecu flash or fuel controller to adjust for the new A/F ratio?

[@toysareforboys1]

Mike Nemec The AIS pump has nothing to do with the AFR at all, at least nothing to do with the AFR the engine burns at. It blows air into the EXHAUST, which is AFTER everything has went trough the engine. It makes no difference at all as to how the engine runs, just what noises or flames it shoots out the muffler :) Just leaving the AIS pump unplugged is usually fine. When I say unplugged I'm referring to just the electrical connector for the AIS pump, don't disconnect any of the hoses or anything. Sometimes on the dyno you can still see it leaking a little air (it's filtered airbox air so no worries about dirt) so there might still be a tiny bit of pop and gurgle but unless you want to get rid of it completely or run autotune then I wouldn't bother with blockoff plates. They aren't much fun to install, but you save a bit of weight (getting rid of the AIS pump, bunch of hoses, etc.) and clean up the entire area (some say it makes future spark plug changes way easier). It would be a good idea to leave the baffle (db killer) installed in your muffler (to give a little back pressure) until you get your ECU flashed or a power commander/bazzaz. With all three you just drop a fuel map in there and hope the AFR comes out where it should be (which usually it's pretty close, if anything it's on the rich side which these engines love anyway). The only way to see the resulting AFR is on a dyno or with the AutoTune or Z-AFM add-ons. -Jamie M.

[@DeKay]

The Graves full looks better than the M4 Slip-on. Out of curiosity, why did you guys swap the system out so soon?

[@D_DeWalt632]

Man I wish there was a way to get titanium systems but with the sound of sc project

[@sportbiketrackgear]

SC also makes a nice exhaust. - Van

[@wantabesk8er]

You don't have to seal any of the pipes to keep it from leaking?

[@DropAGearDisappear]

what did you say at the end i couldn't hear you very well, what plate? what about the fuel?

[@toysareforboys1]

DropAGearDisappear You have to link your youtube account to google+ otherwise people can't reply directly to your comments. The plates he was referring to are commonly called Smog Block Off Plates. Yamaha bikes (R6, R1, FZ, etc.) use a system called AIS (Air Injection System) that blows fresh air into the exhaust on deceleration (primarily to protect the catalytic converter and to help with emissions reduction). Lots of other brands of bikes use a similar system, PAIR, etc. When you get rid of the catalytic converter and install a very open exhaust system the AIS pump causes lots of pop and gurgle on deceleration (and possibly nice flames shooting out of the muffler too). Removing the AIS system and installing smog block off plates gets rid of a lot of the pop on deceleration as well as gives you a true air/fuel mixture if you want to use Bazzaz w/AFM or Power Commander w/AutoTune. Instead of installing smog block off plates you could just unplug the power to the AIS pump and that solves the problem too most of the time (the bike won't throw a check engine light).

[@apglasses]

looks awesome. ya know what would make this install a little easier? a shirt that's not quite so tight

[@sportbiketrackgear]

apglasses Take it easy I am a little sensitive about my weight... - Van

[@apglasses]

lol sorry, don't take it the wrong way. i was implying you have a lot of muscle, you could fill out a bigger shirt. i wish i could

[@taylorlewis4451]

My question is do you have to keep the smog blockers in for any after market full exhaust system?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Not essential to have that system when eliminating the stock system.

[@desertrider325]

Do you use any exhaust paste?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No I do not use any exhaust paste. - Van

[@YellowHoRRnet]

What tool would I need to remove the silencer? Thank you

[@mhopkins491]

how do u like the fz09 I've been riding sportbike bikes my whole life I'm 47 now and I want something fun but comfortable

[@dant565]

excellent vis as usual. does the popping and farting damage anything or is it more of a cosmetic thing?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

+Dan T No it won't really hurt anything, leave it if you like it. - Van

[@flipboi15]

Hi Van, I've recently installed this system on my fz09 2017, and I could not find that black anodized mounting bracket. Did they change it ? Please advise. Thank you!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Yes this system has been revised a bit since we did this install. We see this from Graves more than other brands. They are always tweaking the system to take it as far as they can. - Van

[@subzerized]

like the graves better than the m4 last time =]

[@dant565]

gday mate i was wondering why you got rid of the m4 and put the graves on. was the m4 to loud?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

+Dan T No the M4 was not too loud, both sounded excellent IMO. The Graves was just next up on the install calendar. - Van

[@goldcommander1]

What kind of motorcycle lift is it?

[@OfficerNastyx]

How does this exhaust sound compared to the m4 in volume and tone?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The can is a little larger than the M4 slip on which makes it a little quieter. Comparing it to the M4 full system they are pretty close IMO as the can size is not that different. - Van

[@OfficerNastyx]

Does it have a deeper tone than the m4 slip on. I’m trying to get rid of my m4 slip on for something with a deeper tone. The m4 is too raspy sounding

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Two Bros might be a deeper tone, as they usually are when compared to other brands. But they can be a bit loud without the baffle insert.

[@xxevertonsxx]

thanks!

[@dullen87]

Does these fit the fj 09 ? or is the centre stand in the way ?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

+Dulf Nordensvärd The center stand does obstruct the fitment. Thanks for watching!

[@aecs.constn]

Hello there! Between M4 full system and this Graves, how much $$$ difference there is? Thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Kind of depends on the system, feel free to give us a call at 888.784.4327 and we can get you some pricing!

[@2cool0]

pleezzzzzz let me have this. i swear i will ware condemmn wen i hv secks with it

[@Jo2xdags]

do you have a video how to install a cam chain tensioner?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately we do not have any video installs for Cam Chain Tensioners at this time.

[@sergioguillen2530]

did u accidentally grab your little brothers shirt this morning?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Shirt fits great, if yours fits differently perhaps you need to work on that. - Van

[@Arvinis1]

Am I the only one who think M4 sounds better? :)

[@Pmason718]

Definitely looks better

[@pythonman8103]

Pmason718 u must be blind

[@exothermal.sprocket]

The Graves in this clip had the baffle insert still in. Remove that, and the tone would be deeper without the "pitter-patter" sound of the insert.

[@6speedsti241]

how is making all that disturbing noise in the background?

[@Davidwhat]

these pipes are titanium, not stainless.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

They were stainless, Graves made updates to this system well after we shot this video. - Van

[@igbatious]

consider using a small collar mic audio is horrendous

[@sportbiketrackgear]

It wasn't great way back when, we have upgraded our equipment and now the audio is much better. Thanks for watching!

[@6speedsti241]

we do not have a stand like dat DA

[@Itowle9]

But... I like popping and farting on decel...

[@exothermal.sprocket]

With that air injection functioning, good luck getting an accurate O2 reading with a pipe sniffer on the dyno.

[@rickyw.2631]

@@exothermal.sprocket So what does do to your dyno numbers? U won't be able to tune it properly?

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@rickyw.2631 The PAIR system is there to feed oxygen into the exhaust system just before it reaches the catalytic converter. After modifying the exhaust, the PAIR still puts oxygen into the exhaust and dyno shops often put sniffers on the tail pipe to adjust the air/fuel ratios for the engine. If they PAIR system is diluting the exhaust stream, teh readings won't be correct. Simply remove the PAIR or put a plug into the intake side of it.
