Is there any specific most powerful and noisy type of aftermarket spannies for the KR-1 or does any decent fabricated item that doesn't have plates do? My mate had some Allspeeds for his old YPVS and they felt heavy as you like like they were full of plates, sounded nice though. I had some Nikons for my YPVS, felt as thin as paper so no obvious restrictions, very lightweight, sounded nice on tick over yet were still really quiet when being ragged, though in hindsight I'm thinking the powervalves weren't at full strength as the power topped out before 10,000 rpm and I've heard many a tale that they should rev knackerless past 11,000 no problem. Do many of you lot modify your KR1s or do you like to keep them standard as possible?

Lomas pipes (full system) on the way.
JL have now aquired a KR-1S and have a set of standard pipes and a set of older european race pipes to test on the bike and then they will be making and testing their own designs. I'd like to think you'll be able to drool over some stainless JL's by the end of summer, add them to your x-mas list kids as they WILL look, sound awesome and perform very well if the RGV ones are anything to go by.

Great to hear that they're going to be some new pipes on the market soon. I'm looking forwar to some pics and perhaps a before and after dyno sheet?

Zorsts.
KR1 man calling. Correct me if I am wrong on this, but I am of the belief that the KR1-S pipes are fully functioning expansion chambers without the restrictions of internal baffle plates; (unlike the KR1). By the way, my old TZR250 Vtwin had std pipes which were full of them and weighed a ton. I learned my lesson with that bike: Complex Jap import race-rep + gorgeous looks + sophisticated motor = 40bhp & hideously expensive & hard to find parts to TRY and de-restrict the XXXXing thing; then I found a KR1-S in a garden and have NEVER looked back. Regards, KR1 man.
RD350 LC YPVS. Also grandson Declan's KR1 with ZXR black/purple paintjob/ KR1-s upgrades and max polishing

Sean,
Two things please make sure that we can use the bottom mount near the swing arm pivot on a KR1S instead of having to use the mount at the silencer under the rear footpegs. We racers use TZ end cans so don't need the surports for the end can so long as we can use the bottom support and we don't have pillion foot rests.
Secondly after converting to a 17" rear wheel we have to raise the rear ride height to compensate. The standard exhauts can drag on the drain after this conversion while top ofter market exhausts like nikons give about 40mm clearance. So can you make sure that ur new enhausts meet these requirments please.
If you can then I'll order a pair now
