Greetings from Texas! Was double checking to see if anyone doing this install used the OEM exhaust gaskets. From some videos I believe the Akro Link Pipe uses them, but it doesn't appear they would even fit for this pipe. Plus they're really hard to remove without destroying them. I couldn't find a single video of this install. Only sound clips. Thanks! Edit: Just found this: fz10.org/thread/1732/exhaust-gasketsIs it correct? No gaskets? |

Correct a slip fit doesn’t require gaskets 👍

Perfect. That's exactly what I did. Just started it for the first time. Using a Y-Series. Sounds killer. Thanks much! -Mike

Made it halfway down the street and I've got the Check Engine light. Lovely. So the only thing I did that was questionable was, I took ALL of the guts out of the EXUP motor (gears... oops), closed up, reattached the connector and of course removed the EXUP cables. At no time during the process was the key in the Ignition, let alone turned on. Of course the O2 sensors are back in and connected.
Has anyone else experienced this?
ECU is not flashed as yet. This week it will get done. I know I'm a PITA, but any input would be great.

You only had to disconnect the cables leave the exup hooked up to ecu. I had mine throw a light when I just turn key on with out starting bike exup plug disconnected . Plugged it back in used my pigtail and auto scanner to clear it.
So either you get the exup bypass or whatever they call it or put the exup back together but leave only the 2 cables disconnected the ecu needs to see that motor work. So either way you will need a scan tool and a pig tail the pugs in under you seat for diagnostics.

I hear ya. I know I didn't need to disassemble the entire motor, but I did, and once it's apart, good luck trying to get back together with all of the gears meshing. I messed with it for awhile trying to put it back together.
And yes, I disconnected the cables from the motor after I closed up the back cover which housed the gears. Essentially, there are no gears to turn, but it’s reconnected to the ECU. I did not turn the ignition on before the motor was reconnected to the ECU.
Since I never turned the bike on during the process, I’m hesitant to ride the bike in the event the code it’s throwing has nothing to do with servo motor.
I did this to my ’20 R6 along with block plates, full exhaust, active tune kit and auto-blip. Difference was, I got the ECU flashed before I turned the bike on.

Eliminating the cat will set the check engine light until the ecu has been reprogrammed 👍

For sure? 100%? As I understood it, if done properly it would not. Aww geez.

100 % your servo motor it knows no or resistance did you read something about exup motor disconnected. Sound like the motor is done. So now you will need the plug bypass . Deletion of the cat will not set off the light.
Having the o2 or servo motor not hooked up will

You will be able to ride your bike fine just with a light on , I would be more concerned with running the bike lean with the cat delete without a flash. You will probably notice flat spots and pops . Look into it in this forum it's all been said good luck.

I took the exup motor out and never had an CEL, although I got it tuned before riding it with the decat.

Oxygen sensor measures oxygen in the exhaust stream, the pre-catalyst oxygen sensor (front, or, before the converter) is used to measure oxygen in the exhaust to determine fueling post oxygen sensor, (after the cat) is used to determine the catalytic converter pre-and post and verify that the catalytic converter is performing properly has no effect on fueling only used for verification that the catalytic converter is performing properly therefore removal of the calalytic converter will set a code for catalytic in efficiency as it is not there 👍

I was going to leave this alone but after this last post I had to chime back in. Heay dadcoc have you had any experience with removing the cat or cel light coming and actually fixing it I can tell you I have . And again removing the cat will not send a fault code to the ecu , you realize that there is no o2 after the cat on the 10 right so with that said it has no idea the cat was removed right .
This guy's problem with the code is 100% being set off was because of the aptidictomy he did on the exup motor servo and not because of the cat delete. And now with out the cat he will have more flow so it will require more fuel to not create lean cond this is motorcycle pipe intake swap out 101. Plus I went through all of this already and consulting with 2wdw .
Ok so unless you have a better fix to his problem wich is again bypass plug pigtail code reader then clear or he fixes his servo pigtail code reader then ckear.

So I am in automotive. I just looked at my bike and see no post cat o2 sensor. Which is dumb. Sorry for not noticing that before I spoke.

Eliminating the cat will set the check engine light until the ecu has been reprogrammed 👍 No it doesn't. I rode with the factory o2 sensors installed into my Hindle midpipe for almost 1500 miles without a flash with no CEL. |

Yes sir I have figured out this one post before you 👍 I take issue with this because if the catalyst fails, how would you know? Pointless to have a Catalytic converter if you have no monitoring system for it. Now in all fairness I have had no intention to keep it on my bike, however, it would really be a power hog once it started to clog.. |

After I learned what I needed to know about the cat delete System and decided it's not for me mainly the sound level is way to load . So went back to the stock cat after market muffler with a flash it runs and sound beautiful to me and thats all that matters. As far as cat clogging I'm not going to worry about that for a very long time , I run my bike pretty hard when I ride and that what cats likes it hot to burn off the crap I don't do stop and go at all or low Rev riding.
