You all are calling stage 1 - 2 - and 3. Well by that standard On my Suzuki c-50 I'm at stage 2. My Question is how does Yamaha's FI re-act if at all. Many C-50 owners claimed no change even with full debaffle. I would not know due to adding cobra processer for K&N air filter. So back to my Question, Anybody experiance any ill effects with new FI system and exhaust mod?

Sorry I can be much help.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #90391 greyphart (User) bad idea+ experience = good judgement Platinum Boarder Posts: 1102 Re:08 1700 RoadStar with FI 7 Months, 1 Week ago   Greetings copperchopper! This is kind of unexplored territory but if I had to guess I'd say the effect would be minimal. EFI usually compensates for a number of changes from altitude to exhaust. Doing a stage 2 or 3 shouldn't have too much noticeable effect. Going to HK's or an aftermarket set of pipes may be a different story. Just guessing here. Not sure how drilling the pipes would affect your warranty either. M2CTS.

Not worried about warranty as much as virgin ground. Seems to be small 1 inch spot weld on exhaust port tube to back plate. is this the weld and plate I need to ditch first???????   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #90439 roadhog1 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 208 Re:08 1700 RoadStar with FI 7 Months, 1 Week ago   Well copperchopper, looks like you are the clinics 08 guinea pig.

Moderator Posts: 4878 Re:08 1700 RoadStar with FI 7 Months, 1 Week ago   I have a Roadhouse slip on on my Roadliner (they have FI), and have no issues whatsoever with the bike. Have not added anything else (fuel management , filter changes). I would Think that doing the stage 1-3 one at a time would be safe , and would give you the opportunity to get the sound you want , with no ill effects. Keep us informed.
