Yamaha's 847 cc triple went into the MT-09, the Tracer 900, the XSR900 and the leaning three-wheeled Niken, and all of them share the same catalytic converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers six Yamaha model names, including the three-wheeled Niken\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeded by the Racing Line S-Y9R8-HEGEHT to keep its EC approval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoneycomb metal carrier with a precious metal coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight model years under one number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAkrapovic records an EC approval against it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Widest Fitment of Any Converter Here\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMT-09, FZ-09, Tracer 900, FJ-09, XSR900, Niken. Yamaha built all of them around the CP3 triple with the same exhaust layout, and one converter serves the lot from 2014 to 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Niken is the outlier and it is worth naming: a leaning three-wheeler with two front wheels, mechanically the same motorcycle from the engine backwards. Owners of one are used to being told a part does not fit theirs. This one does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Racing Line Needs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic's Racing Line for the MT-09 family is EC and ECE type approved, and that approval is written around a converter being present. Take it out and the exhaust becomes a track part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone fitting the Racing Line to a road bike needs this number in the same order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOr the Original Has Died\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other reason people search for a converter. On an MT-09 from 2014 the original is now over a decade old, and a converter is a consumable: heat cycles crack the substrate, and a spell of running rich coats it in a way that cannot be undone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSymptoms are a dead spot at high revs, a rattle under the bike, or a failed emissions test. None of them can be confirmed by eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrecious Metals on a Honeycomb\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carrier is a metal honeycomb; the working part is a coating of palladium, rhodium and platinum bonded to it. Carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons go in, carbon dioxide and water vapour come out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose three metals are most of the price, and they are also the reason a used unit is a gamble — the coating is invisible and a poisoned converter looks perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt Around the Flow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic makes the point that its converters are performance oriented rather than generic. A restriction is unavoidable; the design goal is to keep it small enough that the system's sound and figures survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Triple That Defined a Decade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CP3 engine gave Yamaha a middleweight platform that ran from 2014 through several generations. It is one of the most common used motorcycles in Germany, and the parts supply around it matters more than for most machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNot an Exhaust\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne converter in the box.
