Jardine Exhaust SUCKS!!!!

[onelogue]

Alright so most of you know my brother rides a '08 XB12R and my a '04 XB12R

So for the first time we swapped bikes and hopped on the highway here in Cali.
My bike has the "race kit" and his bike has the famous Jardine pipe.

His bike was obviously louder and I was jealous of it's true chopper sound. But once I let out the clutch I knew my '04 had better low end torque. I shift about 3000 RPM's in general and I caught myself shifting at 4 cause of the lack of torque. On the highway side by side we did a 5th gear pull and he pulled away on my bike. He was doing 3000 RPM roll on wheelies with my bike compared to 4500 RPM wheelies with his '08. But due to my brothers love for the loud sound he still wont change exhaust.

To sum things up: The Jardin is loud as hell but it takes away a massive amount of power and torque!

Getting a warning due to the cops interest in the bikes

Myself on the left, brother on the right.

A Custom tune would help his bike make-up some of the loss.

If he wants to fix the pipe I figured out how to get the back pressure back very easily and cheep.

haha yeah we got a warning too. The officer didn't care too much for the bikes but we were polite

Explain...

There is a difference between 07 and older bikes and the 08+ bikes with DDFI3. I test rode a Uly in 06 and remember it hitting hard, but my 09 seems to have a softer power delivery. So I think part of the difference is the DDFI3.

I will do a little wright up on it when I get home today.
