Nah it prob couldn't get any shorter..but it was enough to answer his question? lol. Mines actually an 88' Dave. Didn't realise yours was an 88 too <!-- s:???: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":???:" title="Confused" /><!-- s:???: --> Wonder if they did make a 89 without exup?
Seems I may have a rare bike for the UK as all dealers who specialize in Japanese imports have never seen or heard of them. They all assume that its a "bitsa" bike made up from a 2KR & a 3LN. Just goes to show how much dealers know <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
well just to repeat the point my '88 2kr has an exup exhaust - it doesn't really look original though 'cos you can see two old weld points on it. And the guys at A1 motorcycles thought it was an add-on and reckoned there was no such thing as a 2kr with exup. So that clears up nothing really...
I've seen an 2kr with exup, so they definelty did do it *shrug* maybe it was like winning the lottery <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->
These 2KR models with EXUP are like rocking horse s**t here in the UK. Can someone tell me how much their local breaker would charge for a complete exhaust system, headers & end can, & a guide on cost to ship to the UK? TIA
The exup smooths out the power curve in the lower rev range. Instead of starting to get a burst of power between 10-12000 revs it will start coming on more gradually at about 5000. There isn't a huge loss of power, so it is not something to be overly concerned about. Where it counts (i.e. above 10 000) there isn't any difference in power.
