I received my first delivery of Akrapovic’s carbon fiber S-Y2SO12-HAPC slip-on exhaust systems for the 2015 Yamaha R3 today. The carbon has a unique look to it that’s darker than most carbon fiber and it has a little of the weave texture still. One other cool thing to note is that the band clamp is 100%

Annitori Quickshifter for Yamaha R3
2015, March 14
by Norton Racing
I’ve decided to try out the Annitori Racing Quickshifter for my R3 instead of using the Bazzaz Z-Fi TC. The Annitori system is completely plug and play and only retails for $299, making it considerably less expensive than the standard offerings from Bazzaz and Dynojet.

I received my first delivery of Akrapovic S-Y2SO11-AHCSS slip-on exhaust systems for the 2015 Yamaha R3 yesterday (it’s the same as the R25 exhaust), but I ran out of time to post about them, so here it is… Packaging is simple and the exhaust is marvelous! I would expect nothing less from Akrapovic. The welds

Well, after seeing the Akrapovic slip-on for the R25 which looks like the Yamaha M1 exhaust, I had to get in touch with their USA representative. Now I’m SOOOO happy to announce that I will be carrying Akrapovic’s full line of exhaust systems for the R3, and any other bike you may be looking for.
