I came to the conclusion that �600 was just not worth the 1-2Kg weight improvement....

I'd love to hear from anyone who can tell me any performance gain from these cans
Soon after I picked up my bike in June, I phone Akrapovic to inquire about the cans. They were very reluctant in responding to my questions, except that the weight savings would be no more than 1kg, and they would not say on power improvements. I then asked my dealer who said they also asked Yamaha who never got back to them, even I mentioned I might be interested. These can people need to get their heads out of the sand, how could they expect people to buy their stuff without any info whatsoever.
