Yamaha’s R9 can now be upgraded with a choice of road-legal and race exhaust systems from Slovenian manufacturer Akrapovič. Both use cues taken from the design of Akra’s World Supersport systems, with a lightweight titanium silencer sleeve and a stainless steel link pipe, and headers. For the road-legal version there is a pre-silencer box, which is hidden away under the bike behind the lower fairing, and a built-in catalytic converter to make sure the bike still complies with Euro 5+ regulations. The road system gives an extra 3hp and 2.6Nm of torque without remapping; the race system will require a remap to release the extra horses.
The road system is £1799 SRP, and the race system is £1052 SRP.
