Went out to look at a 2015 R, seems to be a lot of confusion on this around the web and hoping you guys can help me. Did the 15 Dash 17 models come with cats and exhaust flap? My research says they did… Some other research pointed to immediate option at time of purchase to upgrade to full Akra exhaust without cats and flapper.
The sellers mechanic stated that all 15 Dash 17's came to America without cats?? That doesn't make sense to me, how do they get around the EPA, carb. My acknowledge the loophole, which would be send the bike over with cats and flapper, then immediately changed to straight pipe akra.
Didn't mean to hijack the thread just thought it was too small of a question for a separate thread.
All my recent bikes have been straight titanium exhaust with some type of software and it makes a world of difference to accurate throttle feel.
Any information, possibly with a reference, would be very much appreciated.
