Yamaha's CP2 twin ran in the MT-07, the Tracer 700 and the XSR700, and the exhaust arrangement is close enough that the converter for one serves them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers five Yamaha model names across eight model years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeded by the Racing Line S-Y7R5-HEGEH to keep its EC approval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoneycomb metal carrier with palladium, rhodium and platinum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAkrapovic records an EC approval against it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso a replacement when an original has failed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Sentence in the Small Print\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Racing Line for these Yamahas is type approved, with a single qualifier attached: the certificate applies while a converter remains in the system. Remove it and the qualifier bites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo a road-going MT-07 needs both numbers on the same invoice. Chasing flow by leaving the converter out turns an approved exhaust into a circuit-only one, immediately and permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacement, Not Only Upgrade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen years is a long service life for a component that runs red hot several times a week. Substrates crack under repeated heating; a period of over-fuelling glazes the coating and nothing brings it back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat an owner notices is a hollow spot high in the range, a loose rattle beneath the engine, or a test station's printout. None of that can be diagnosed by eye — which is equally the reason not to buy one second hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrecious Metal, Invisibly Applied\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is a honeycomb of thin metal foil, and across its surface sits a wash coat holding palladium, rhodium and platinum. The chemistry happens there: poisonous gas enters, carbon dioxide and water vapour leave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose metals set the price, and none of them can be seen. That is precisely why provenance matters on a part like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSized for the System, Not for the Shelf\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery converter obstructs. Akrapovic's claim is that its own are dimensioned to obstruct as little as the emissions test permits, so that the exhaust around them still behaves as designed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth remembering when reading the Racing Line's dyno numbers: they were taken with this component installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Engine That Sold Everywhere\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 689 cc CP2 twin is one of the most common engines on European roads, and the MT-07 has been a best-seller since 2014. Parts availability for it matters more than for most machines, simply because there are so many of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Component, Not a System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box contains a single converter. Nothing else — no muffler, no header set, no connecting pipe. It finishes an installation that something else began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEight Model Years\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2014 to 2021, after which Yamaha revised the platform for Euro 5+ and later machines take different parts. The registration document settles which side of that line a given bike falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn EC approval is recorded against this converter. Fitted to the Racing Line it is the basis on which that system stays legal on a public road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: P-KAT-051\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 3831113534734\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBikes covered: Yamaha MT-07, FZ-07, Tracer 700, XSR700 and XSR900, 2014 to 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: catalytic converter, single unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: honeycomb metal carrier, palladium, rhodium and platinum coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequired by: Akrapovic Racing Line S-Y7R5-HEGEH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: converts carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Akrapovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53631113527562,"sku":"P-KAT-051","price":37500.0,"currency_code":"DZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/01_1dcb95a8-62f2-4d76-b1e6-8e70d2acab9d.png?v=1788603582","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-dz\/products\/akrapovic-catalytic-converter-yamaha-mt-07-xsr700-p-kat-051","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
