 You have already spent a ton of cash buying an FZ-10. You owe it to your bike to go the extra mile and ditch the stock exhaust for the Akrapovic Full Racing Exhaust. Holy smokes batman, she lost 18 pounds and gained 7 horsepower. Best pricing I found is Motosport.com and paid 1825.00 plus about 400 bucks for my mechanic to install the exhaust system and the Power Commander V (325.00 from DynoJet directly) which you will absolutely want and need. You will then have what I call the poor-mans Ferrari! Pay a pro to do the install. Well worth it. I watched my guy for the whole day while he fought the battle. He worked his butt off to get this thing on. Clearances were so tight and little space to work in. When you hear this thing sing however, you WILL be stunned. If you are lucky, your mechanic does Dyno tuning as well. DynoJet currently does not have the exact map for this bike/exhaust combo. A Dyno run is what you need and then you will get the full 100 percent from your upgraded system. Let me know if you are interested in any more details about the whole shebang! |

looking good. I almost always go with a full exhaust but just couldn't justify it this time around due to the cost. My wifey says I am stuck in 1999 prices and I should just buy what I want. I just couldn't justify it until I get a few other tid bits I want. Great looking system.

I just couldn't justify it until I get a few other tid bits I want. Great looking system. I'm totally with you. I paid $900 for an Akrapovic titanium full exhaust and carbon can for the FZ1 in 2006. I couldn't justify double the cost for the same thing just 10 years later. I went with a Yoshi titanium 3/4 instead and a OEM R1 titanium header. gfaegenburg - there's no doubt that Akrapovic makes very high quality stuff! Congrats on getting them for your 10! Can you post some closer up pics of the headers and pipes? I love seeing nice header welds  |

Correct me if I am wrong but the Full Akrapovic system has stainless headers and mid pipe.

Correct me if I am wrong but the Full Akrapovic system has stainless headers and mid pipe. You are correct. From their site: "The latest muffler design is crafted from lightweight titanium and carbon-fibre, with the rest of the system built from high-grade stainless steel..." They go on to say it is lighter than the stock system, which I would fully expect due to the elimination of the cat. I personally prefer the look of their slip on to this setup, but I bet this sounds and performs great! Congrats, OP. Share some videos and closer pics when you have a chance! |

Yeah am not a fan of the current full system can but it is all personal preference.

Need some help from my FZ10 brothers. I bought this sweet bike and also upgraded the exhaust to a full akrapovic racing exhaust. Only issue is the backfiring/popping. It's not terrible but you can tell she needs to be tuned.
Here are my options:
Flash ECU. I have never done this. Can anyone verify this will work and not screw up my bike.
Buy the dynojet power commander V
There is another device that autotunes. Does anyone have this and can verify that she works for the akra exhaust?
Pay for a dyno mechanic to beat the piss out of your bike. Purchase the power commander V.
Wait for dynojet to come out with the correct configuration fuel map. Plug in and ride!
Any information would be great.
Thank you

Any information would be great. Thank you Backfire/popping is mainly from the AIS which you can eliminate with block off plates. As for the ECU flash, I would give Nels a call at 2 Wheel Dynoworks. Most of the forum members have done ECU flash through Nels. He provides great service, will answer any and every question that you might have, gets back to you very quickly via email. I'm quite sure that he has a tune for the 3/4 Akrapovic system but I'm not sure about the full Akrapovic system. Just call him and ask about the tune for your particular exhaust. If you are close to Kirkland, Washington you can just ride there and get a proper dyno tune. |

Hello, and sorry for the lateness is responding. This week I will be having the DynoJet AutoTune Module installed and a Dyno tune on the bike. I figured after all the money I have spent up to this point, what is another 800 bucks for this last piece. I too have been having a lot of Decel-Popping and I want things to run and sound perfect. The guy doing the work is Elton Fish owner of EFR Racing in Winfield, IL. You can see his work at www.efrracing.com to see the stuff he builds. Anyway, I hope this will be the last piece of the puzzle. |

Well guys, I am sorry to report that it has been a VERY disappointing week. After having the DynoJet Autotune module installed and a Dyno run tune, I wound up with what I considered to be an expensive and extremely dangerous setup. The good news was that the map that got created for the Power Commander added almost 9 horsepower (132) and 2 ft lbs of torque, but the bike would just not run smooth. The Autotune seems to be the problem here. My guess is the fact that the closed loop area is using the narrow band O2 sensors and the tuneable area (outside the closed loop) is on Wide band sensor. All I know is that when trying to hold throttle steady, bike would start a lurching routine and jump sometimes 500 rpm. The real headache seemed to be during very slight let up and then increase movements on the throttle. You guys know how sensitive the throttle is on this bike already. This thing scared the crap out of me when making just a slight throttle change when cornering. This same back and forth jumping of the engine also showed up when on cruise control. When the engine backed off slightly on a downslope to maintain cruise speed, as soon as it was time to adjust a tad more gas, the bike would jump sometimes nearly four miles an hour. It became very dangerous sometimes as I would wind up advancing on traffic much faster than desired and have to kick off the cruise. But that added horsepower was REALLY noticeable. I have been doing some experiments, but for now have opted to turn off the Autotuner. I have also abandoned the map that was created as well for the moment. It would be ok for doing a 1/4 mile run but not for regular street riding. I am back on the map the DynoJet supplied (M22-080-003) and things are back to stable. I will start comparisons between the maps and see if I can tweak some spots to get the extra oomph out of her. What a major bummer. That little fiasco cost me 750 bucks for nothing. Sorry gang.

Should of called Nels at 2wheeldyno works. He already has maps from doing tons of dyno work with most aftermarket exhausts and stock exhaust. You can send him your Ecu and he will flash it for you. I have done this and have the Flashtune active tune(auto tune) and the bike runs phenomenal. Also you need to install block off plates to stop the popping. Call Nels!

Sorry to hear that. Our vendor here on the forum 2wheeldynoworks has tunes that are making 150 hp on the FZ10, for alot less money. |

Any information would be great. Thank you we've flashed thousands of motorcycles, seems to work pretty good so far. dont buy a power commander, an ecu flash has the fueling included in it. autotune again not needed when maps are flashed into the ecu do not use a canned dynojet map. you need a custom dyno tune on a dyno mated to your bike. the way power commanders work, the maps are not universal. backfiring/popping is because you need to install block off plates and disable the AIS pump |
