I was here to find out if this was the one that didn’t require a tune. I’m gonna get a tune at some point but I don’t need it yet I just got the 900 so I should get used to being on such a touchy and smaller bike. These XSR’s are no joke. Thanks for the clean and clear tutorial. Appreciated

Never ceases to amaze that youtube compression can make even an akra exhaust sound like a sowing machine

[@rsv4pilot114]

Yeah. Exhausts on youtube are never like they are in person

[@ThePresidentofMars]

@rsv4pilot114 the stock cb650r in person sounded pretty nice but on yt is sounded pretty much like thiscan only imagine what the akra sounds like

Well i bought it this past Saturday and love it . seats a lil hard but will get use to it . bike feels like it just wants to go but have to have self control during break in . I had a Kawasaki ZRZ1200A2 and hp is very close to xsr900 and torque.

[@jonbe9]

Thanks for the detailed DIY...have you removed the dB killer in the last year? What did you think of sound/performance w/o it? Thanks in advance.

[@rsv4pilot114]

I have not removed it yet. I have been meaning to but I either didn't have time or forgot about it. I am actually gonna do a video on it soon but my job has been keeping me busy.

[@alangriff1]

Nice sound and good job. Say what screen have you got on it? thanks

[@rsv4pilot114]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. The screen is a Puig Vision windscreen. I got it on Revzilla for about $90.

[@unclelucas2389]

nice! does it do a cracking high pitched takaktakttak sound when you rev it? other videos with this exhaust has that annoying sound when revved.

[@rsv4pilot114]

I have not heard that from this exhaust. Nice meaty rumble and sound.

[@titansbrock2914]

Anytime you change an exhaust system you should replace the exhaust gaskets the old ones Crush to the ceiling area of the head pipe going in and exhaust port and old ones will crush and seal differently and can cause an exhaust leak if you have a problem falling out put a little grease on them and they will stay up inside the exhaust port

[@rsv4pilot114]

Yes, I just took a chance with using the old ones.

[@jonbe9]

I have an '21 XSR9 and am in the market to upgrade my exhaust - I noticed that the s/s akra exhaust is the only one with the "loop" section before the muffler...is that to restore some back pressure to maintain low end torque now that the Cat is deleted?

[@rsv4pilot114]

I'm not sure but if I had to guess, I'd say that's probably why. But to get the true answer, I think you'd have to call Akra and ask them. I wondered the same thing myself.

[@Aesop70]

Did you still have the DB killer in at the end of the video? Sounds awesome! About to install mine right now.

[@rsv4pilot114]

Yes. It came with it installed. Have not removed it yet. Some people asked me to do a video with the db killer in and one without. So that will be coming soon.

[@pfmotor4318]

Nice video, you should have put the springs before tightening everything, beautiful bike though

How did your bike end up running and did you tune it/remap the ecu?

[@rsv4pilot114]

It ran great. Some popping on decel. I did not tune it. Should have to make it even better but I don't know anyone around my area that can do that and I don't trust some random person on the internet to mess with my ecu. So I just left it alone and had no issues.

[@mattnelson8655]

@RSV4 Pilot that's cool. But if you notice the bike not running well you could ruin the motor. It's very important that the bike doesn't run lean. I am doing the same mods.

[@rsv4pilot114]
