R6 Headers

[JonKerr]

How are you guys mounting your full length slip-on mufflers toward the back? I was thinking about replacing the pin on the rear peg with a bolt and building a bracket to mount to the tab on the stock muffler. That is if I use the stock muffler. It's freaking huge! And it's a little beat up. But I'm looking at some of the shorter GP style cans you can find around. So we'll see.

well i got my header and slip-on on and i found i have a slight exhaust leak on on of the header ports...everything else works like a charm...however bad news...If you do this mod you will need a power commander cause of how rich you run seeing as you basically have a straight pipe...:rant:

ill post pics of my set up as soon as i finish

Wouldnt it be more lean because its more free flowing?

Hi Guys,

I've read through this thread and now its got me really interested in trying something similar on my Yammi.

This is my senario, I live in the UK and I have the '09 XJ6N. Its my first bike and I am a complete noob at anything mechanical, I'm more of a techy in the sense I install Satellite TV by trade. Not that that helps me here but I'm just trying to give you the whole picture in terms of "me". I recently fitted a K&N air filter, purely so it doesn't need replacing anytime soon, however this and a tail tidy is the total of my experience modding my bike.

I've had a look on eBay and i've come across this. Yamaha R6 5SL 03-05 Standard Exhaust System on eBay (end time 14-Feb-10 21:11:54 GMT) Firstly, am I looking at the correct R6 headers? and does anyone know if this has been done on the XJ6? I don't think I'd be attempting the installation myself but I know if a really good independant bike mechanic a few miles away. I think with the info on here and his years of experience this should be a doddle for him. I wouldn't want to use the silencer from the auction but is the rest of the kit suitable? if so I think I'll take the plunge and then buy a different end can.

My wife thinks I'm mad, only had a bike since August and I'm hooked on it.

Any help I can get is greatly appreciated.

how to

Is anyone planning on creating a "how to" for the r6 exhaust?

Would love for this to happen, especially if there is welding involved...!
Don't want it to look/run ghetto..

Have you mounted the lambda sensor on the exhaust (using a weld on lambda boss)?

If no, id say this is why its rich. if the lambda is loose its sniffing free air and the ecu will think the engine is lean and dump in more fuel.

It will do the same thing if the lambda is not connected, as being rich is less harmful to the engine than being lean (bore-washing aside).

my full explanation of the ways to deal with lambda feedback are in this post:

Hey guys, did anyone complete their R6 headers/slip-on conversion?

Some pics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob

Look around in the threads instead of just the first and last pages. There are pictures.
