Re: Rotor - Aftermarket versus OEM

Some of the aftermarket stuff appears to be poor quality, but I haven't heard of the brand in the link, and not much shows up in a search. Use PayPal…login to view the rest of this post

Re: Rotor - Aftermarket versus OEM

Hi Dre77 Well the OE ones fail so it sounds logical to go aftermarket as i believe they dont have the same design fault as the OE one. Like you say t…login to view the rest of this post

Re: Hello from South Africa

As far as i'm aware the 4c8 exhaust is different to the 14b , the lads with the 4c8's were always complaining about how hard to get hold of and how expensive the 4c8 aftermarket bits were , get yourself a de-cat pipe and get rid or the power commander and the bike remapped instead [emoji106] Thanks...

Re: Hello from South Africa

Sorry, I’m not the one to ask re the fitting of a 14b link pipe to a 4c8, but I’d you post up a new topic in the 4c8 section someone will know if it can be done or how to do it. What I do know is you need to ditch the cat, the heat from it was uncomfortable in our UK summers, it would be unbearable...

Re: Hello from South Africa

Bikes looking good , I’m guessing the cat has been removed. I used to do quite a lot of work with the police when I had my 4c8, rode with them a lot, the officers who knew me also knew the bike, but one day another bike cop joined us, he said... you bike is rather loud.... the sergeant replied befo...

Hello from South Africa

Hello all, this is Andre from South Africa. I recently purchased my first R1. It's a 2007 and bought it from a mate. Enjoying it immensely as well as learning and tinkering with it a bit. I also have a 2006 Kawasaki Zx10r. That's it from me for now. Cheers Andre Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
