    XSR900 GP - Retro Beauty!

    Yamaha have gone back to the 80s with this gorgeous XSR900 GP, I love the checkerblock design and this is a real stunner! Just dump the pipe for an Akrapovic Carbon Line and it will be perfect.

    Plastic stuck to headers

    Yesterday I was out riding and a plastic bag blew in front of me and attached to the bike, by the time I got stopped the black plastic was melted onto one of the headers. Any ideas on how to get it off? Akro carbon full system.

    Stock exhaust

    Do the Tracer and the naked 09 have the same stock exhaust? I looked on Ron Ayers and they have different part numbers but the Akrapovic on my Tracer is actually for the naked and it fits perfectly. I want to sell the stocker so it will help to know if it fits both.
