#105156 afb (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 1 '08 RS Exhaust 5 Months, 1 Week ago   I cannot find an exhaust system for the 08 with FI and O2 sensors. Does anyone know of an after market system that is available?   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/07/31 22:21 By afb.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105161 Factoryphoto (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 121 Re:'08 RS Exhaust 5 Months, 1 Week ago   Of what ive read on road star riders forum yamaha brand "speedstar" has made a 08 pipe with 02 sensors.. I called yamaha shop today there gonna back tomorrow but the guy on the other forum has them on his bike.. He did not rejet or put a power commander on and he says it runs and sounds great.   Logged     www.factoryphoto.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105183 1Steadyloser (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 19 Re:'08 RS Exhaust 5 Months, 1 Week ago   I had them put on a week ago today. If you order, you need to tell them you have an 08. They list or did list a part # that was the same as the previous years but it is really a different part #. They are not the same price, mine cost a little over $600 but they really are good looking, good sounding pipes. I have Vance and Hines on a Nomad, and have had longshots on a 1500 Vulcan Classic, Hard Krome 2.75 big straights on an 06 Roadstar, and have also had Jardine slip ons on a bike and the Speedstars, for me, are as good as any. I did not add anything else but you may get popping if you don't disable or block the air induction system. Some people say they haven't but I have on my Kawasakis and did on this bike even with stock pipes.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #106418 Factoryphoto (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 121 Re:'08 RS Exhaust 5 Months ago   1Steadyloser wrote: I had them put on a week ago today.

Ive talked to 6 yami dealerships and three called yamaha and not one of them said that they make a pipe for the 08 WITH o2 sensors in it..What shop are you dealing with because I will call them direct instead of searching the United States for someone that knows anything about the 08 bike. In a way I want to just get 07 pipes ,pc and disable the o2 sensors but on the other hand there on the bike for a reason (that I dont know) so id like to keep them if possible.Any info would be appreciated.

I called the guy in Penscola FL and got the part number.. It sells as a Speedstar yamaha pipe but its made by Vance & Hines.. Part number is SPD-5VN09-90-03 There the long drag pipes My yamaha dealer here had truoble finding them but they did finally.. Your shop needs to call Yamaha direct tell them that part number and make sure it has the 02 sensors in there.. I think retail was $620.. I have mine on order will be Tuesday..   Logged     www.factoryphoto.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #107582 fulgoar (User) bigg dan dzol Fresh Boarder Posts: 97 Re:'08 RS Exhaust 5 Months ago   thanks man, also i sent you a pm reguarding what im bout to say, ' if you could after you install the pipes, give us all like a quick review,and maybe maybe us a video to see and hear them. i hope they are real throaty,and loud,smooth sounding tho, cause i still want to get a road star,but not if i can make it bada$$ unno. thanks -DAN   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #107667 gearjammer (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 16 Re:'08 RS Exhaust 5 Months ago   Factoryphoto wrote: 1Steadyloser wrote: I had them put on a week ago today.

Thanks The O2 sensors monitor the oxygen content in the exhaust so the ECM can tell the fuel injection how much fuel to add to the mix. Long story short (I know, too late..) you need them.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #107672 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4582 Re:'08 RS Exhaust 5 Months ago   or remap the ECM...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
