Beautiful Exhaust!
June 30, 2010
"I ordered this Exhaust for my 2007 ZX6R Ninja and it looks great! Fits perfectly under the tail. Looks like it was custom made for my bike! Nice throaty sound from this setup. Not too loud. Would recommend this exhaust. Greatly improves the appearance of my bike. Adds a few horses too!"

Vortex Sprocket: With the Vortex sprocket and chain kit you can expect race quality and killer street looks. The Vortex black aluminum rear sprocket will not only make your motorcycle look faster, it will increase your motorcycles acceleration by reducing the rotating mass. In addition to quicker acceleration, reduced rotating mass also translates into quicker braking and better handling. Vortex makes their front sprockets out of high quality stainless steel that has been drilled to save weight. The Vortex rear sprocket has been anodized black for a durable finish and non-stock look. Constructed of the highest quality 7075 T6 aluminum maximizes durability and weight savings. Vortex uses a CNC machining process to ensure the tightest tolerances and reduced chain drag. Match these Vortex sprockets up with a RK or DID chain for the ultimate combo on your motorcycle. RK Chain: All RK Sealed O-ring type chains feature heat treated hi-carbon alloy steel components with seamless rollers and shouldered bushings, and are fitted with a variety of O-ring seal designs. All RK O-ring seals are made from an advanced Nitrile Butadiene composite for maximum performance and wearlife. D.I.D Chain: D.I.Ds Patented X-Ring construction reduces friction by twisting between the side plates instead of being squashed. Normal O-Rings and other makers modified O-Rings have squashed points that increase friction. The twisting action of the X-Ring disperses the pressure and minimizes power loss. The X-Rings four contact points greatly increase its sealing performance. This keeps the dirt out and the lubrication in much better than any other O-Ring. X-Rings have the greatest wear resistance of any other type of O-Ring or Non-O-Ring chain.

Great quality set!
June 30, 2010
"This is a very nice looking set. I went with a -1 +3 on my 2007 ZX6R Ninja. Great low end torque! Much better acceleration. Vortex makes a very durable sprocket. Recommend this set to anyone looking to improve power transmission."

Real MotoGP technology from the tire company that introduced dual-compound tires in GP racing. 20% softer rubber mix on the edges of the tread yields phenomenal cornering grip. Lean angles up to 51.2 measured on Michelin test track. Precise handling and feedback. An extension of the Pilot Power line, not a replacement.

Best tire I have ever purchased!
June 30, 2010
"These tires are the best I have ever bought! They grip the road far better than any tire I have used for high speed cornering. The tread pattern looks great. Wear out quicker than some tires, but this should be expected from a soft compound tire like these. These are a must have for a true sport rider."

Awesome protective boot!
June 30, 2010
"This boot is awesome! They feel really stiff at first, but after wearing them a couple of times they break in very nicely. Look great. A little on the bulky side, but provide outstanding ankle support and protection. Fit true to size. Good quality you expect from Icon. Best riding boot I have worn."

Good quality for warm weather
June 30, 2010
"I ordered these in a 36 because i wear a 34 pant size. They fit a little on the snug size, so I would recommend getting them in your normal size. They run a little on the short side too. I got them in black and they look great. Good quality pant that you would expect from the Icon name. Good for warm weather. The knee pads are placed a little low though. Overall satisfied with the pant."

In UK this exhaust comes with a removable DB killer as standard. Is this included?

What is included in the slip on kit
I have heard that some international sellers are only selling the can on its own. i.e no link pipe etc.
I have this setup on my Kawasaki Ninja and it came with the link pipe. I know 4 people that have them on Honda CBRs and they all came with link pipes. You should get a link pipe also.

Is the exhaust in the picture actually what it looks like?
I have seen people that have the rs5 exhaust for their 2003 cbr 600's, But it does not have the cone shaped end cap as shown in the picture. i was just wondering if it comes with the cone shaped end cap,and if not can you buy it seperate?
Some end caps are slightly different. My 2007 ZX6R end cap came with a round tip. CBR 600 will have an oval shaped end cap. Still look somewhat similar though. All look nice though.

Yes. Comes with a press style master. You will need a press tool and possibly a micrometer to install the master.

I have a Yamaha 2009 YZF-R6. I want more bottom and middle end so what kind of set-up should I get?
I went with a -1 Front and +3 Rear. I got tremendous improvement on my low and mid. I would go with that. Anything more and it will be hard to keep the front wheel down. Also you will lose some off your top speed. I would also recommend installing a speedo healer. If not your speedometer will be off by 8-10 mph.

what is the difference between the 2ct and the original pilot power? Are they both fit for street ridin?
These are different from the original Pilot Powers because they have a dual compound tread. The outer part of the tread is softer to allow better traction in cornering. Great tires!

Zero waterproof ?
I have worn these in a light to medium rain condition and my foot stayed dry, so I would have to say they are good some wet conditions.
