Default Yoshimura RS-5

Im planning on getting Yoshimura RS-5 exhaust for my 600, but im not sure if it would be better to save up and get the entire exhaust system or go the cheaper route and get the slip on. Any advise?

Thanks

hey money - i was thinking the same thing since i have my whole bike ripped apart right now but i just dont have the extra funds - i think with a power commander and 150mph down the highway it doesnt really matter - but if you have the extra funds and your bike is like mine right now then i guess f*ck it and go 4 it.

With a full system you're mostly saving a bit of weight vs. the stock system. Power wise, the difference isn't worth the $ you save. The can makes majority of power.

Fully agree! ... Save the money and go with some other mods.

With the full system you're saving weight vs. gaining a lot more power and unless you plan to track the bike the extra $500+ dollars isn't going to be worth it.

However, I do say invest in a PC3 with the slip-on and get a custom tune.

If you go with the full exhaust you HAVE to go with the PCIII, tune, and filter, its like an extra 1500 all said and done. Personally I have the Yosh slip on and the filter, and I love it. Along with a ton of other stuff, I think the best mod I have done so far is the -1/+1 sprockets. Makes a huge difference for like 150 bucks.

So the fluid doesnt over heat and break down and thicken and clog the break lines then the line have not fluid then yougo to hit your breaks and theres nothing working and you have to breaks, to yeah,

Nick im not sure if you are being facetious, or serious about the brake reservoir thing. I have never heard or that, pretty damn sure its just cosmetic.

Actually, Its big here in FL because the sun willeat up your break fluid in a heart beat, and it kindkeeps it tempered, and its also there in case it spils or comes loose, that way it doesnt go everywhere. Atleast thats what I use mine for.
