Hello,

Yes, your carbs will have to be tuned to your exhaust - this, usually, means upgrading the needles/seats in your carbs. I bought a Cobra exhaust system for my Suzuki (earlier model) and it came with the upgrade kit for my carbs.

Some people are happy adjusting the jets out further and living with poor fuel mileage, fouling plugs and lousy performance.

Do some research by calling your parts dealer and ask them if they have the carb kit for the exhaust you are wanting to buy. I use one of two online dealers; Bike Bandit or Old Bike Barn

Hope this helps. If you find this information useful, please vote on this post. Thank you.

Regards,

Oz

    My bad... Apologize for that. I was in the middle of watching the Jets/Steelers game and misread your question.

    You will have to remap your fuel injection system in order to accommodate the new pipes. If you don't your bike will not perform properly or it may even cause engine damage. Also, you may need to buy a power commander to make the adjustments needed to accommodate the new exhaust.

    You can opt for slip-ons to cut back on costs, but you will still need to have the bike re-mapped, but you won't have the added extra expense.

    Again, I apologize for briefly scanning your question.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    I shall be more observant from now on.

I just installed a KR Tuned exhaust on my 2008 gsxr 600. The FI light stays on after putting on the full exhaust.

did you replace the o2 sensor?, might need a remap of the ECU to find the right fuel mixture. Change the air filter, K&N or something similar to get more air in. bunch of possibilities really

How do i remove the stock headers from a 2008 gsxr 600

Remove an and all bolts that connect the radiator to the frame. Remove the fan and temp sensor wire clip. drain coolant and remove hoses. Radiator will come right out. As for the exhaust. you can remove it without taking out the radiator but its very difficult. Good luck!

Motorcycle running a little hot

The fan comes on around 212, when you put a full exhaust, the bike needs more fuel it needs a remap. They say that the stock computer can be flashed but you need a power commander and a BMC race air filter

Top speed 2005 Suzuki GSX R 600?

It depends on weither or not you have any aftermarket stuff put on the bike. My 600 will do 182 but that is with a power commander, acceleration kit, k&n air induction kit, k&n filter, and having it dyno tuned. My buddys stock 600 will do about 166 mph
