Hi,
Pardon my ignorance if it is a dump question. I have been enjoying my 2017 FZ-10 for almost 3000 miles. I really wish my bike could be bit louder.
Please do not tag this as a after market exhaust selection opinion.
I have posted some YouTube links to give an idea about the kind of sound I would like in my bike. I know it’s not an apple to apple comparison since the reference is not taken from othe FZ-10 exaust posts. But my question at the end is different.
YamahaR1:
Yamaha R6: move to 1.09
My favorite sound so far for fz10:
question:
I notice the R1 in first link and R6 in the second link has a continuous sound or there almost nil time difference between the beats. I like the continuous beats compared to the third fz 10 sound which has a slight delay between each beat.
Can a ECU flash modify the beats to continuous flow like the R6 or R1 in the above links ? If yes is there any way to call out the mode like a number or name? pipewerx exhaust with R6 beat would be a killer combination for my FZ IMO.
Am I expecting too much ?
Thanks
Hari

If my bike could travel at the speed of light, would my headlights work?

In a word , no, a flash will not change the sound of the "beats" as you refer to. Those are traditional inline 4's where you have a crossplane engine. It's music to my ears and one of the many reasons I bought the FZ10. Do a search on this forum and you will find an abundant amount of info and sounds that you can compare for exhaust that are available for your bike. I hope you come to embrace the unique sound our bikes make as much as the low end torque that is provided because of this technology.

I am NOT a motorhead like some of these guys (who will hopefully chime in, because I’d like to hear what they say too). But, I’ve educated myself a bit. I think your question makes sense, and I’ll try to get it started... I am pretty sure, from what I understand, that the difference in sound that you’re wondering about has a lot to do with crossplane crankshaft vs flatplane crankshaft. This is true whether talking about 4 cylinder motorcycles or 8 cylinder cars. The FZ-10 has a crossplane crankshaft, for better or worse (most of the people who know what they’re talking about, seem to like it a lot). And, so does the R1, for that matter, but not until 2009, so the 2002 R1 in your linked video does not. R6 does not have a crossplane crankshaft. You’ll get tons of results from a google search on the subject, including discussions on the differences in sound between motors with the two types of crankshafts and ignition firing order. The only other thing that comes to mind is differences in compression ratio. R1 and R6 both have higher compression ratios (13:1) than the FZ-10 (12:1). That higher compression ratio typically is found on motors that have that faster, smoother sounding idle and overall sound, versus the low rumble of the lower compression motors. Connection? The more I type, the dumber I feel. Haha. Anyway, I don’t think there’s a way to "fix" the "offbeat" sound of the FZ-10 that I believe you’re referring to. It’s the nature of the machine. www.yamahapart.com/page/crossplanecrankshaft |

Ha! Thanks av8er. You replied during the time it took me to painfully tap out my $.01. 😉
