A BMW F 800 GS that tours carries side cases, the right-hand one sits directly over the silencer, and an aftermarket exhaust that does not clear it is useless to the rider who bought the bike for what it does. Akrapovic states outright that this system is compatible with the BMW side cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with the BMW side cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEC and ECE type approved, and separately approved by the US EPA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium outer sleeve with a carbon fibre end cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.2 kg against a standard 4.9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e81.2 PS, half a horsepower above standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers three model names across ten model years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThirty minutes to fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Names, One Silencer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBMW's 798 cc parallel twin carried the F 800 GS from 2008, the softer F 700 GS from 2013 and the long-range F 800 GS Adventure from the same year. The three differ in wheels, suspension and tank, not in where the exhaust runs, so one part number covers all of them to 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic lists this system under the designation Slip-On Line (Titanium) 700, which is its own catalogue shorthand rather than a restriction: the fitment covers the 800 as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApproved Three Ways\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEC and ECE type approval mean no entry in the German vehicle documents and no argument at a roadside check. The separate US EPA approval is unusual on a European catalogue page and reflects that these machines sold well in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a type approval, not an ABE. The distinction matters in Germany, and the paperwork that comes with the system is what a Prüfer will ask to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeven Hundred Grams, and Not a Gram More Claimed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.9 kg standard to 4.2. Fourteen per cent, on a motorcycle that weighs 214 kg with a full tank. Nobody will feel that as a change in handling, and it would be dishonest to suggest otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat people buy this for is the sound and the look of a titanium can where BMW put a large steel box. The weight saving is real but it is a footnote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Torque Reading Is Not Straightforward\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic records peak torque of 78.2 Nm against a standard 78.3 — two tenths lower — while also recording a gain of 1.1 Nm at 4,550 rpm. Both figures come from the same dyno sheet and both are reproduced here as the manufacturer gives them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead together they describe a curve that is fuller in the middle and fractionally lower at its highest point. On a trail bike that trades in low-range drive, that is the right way round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHalf an Hour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirty minutes, which is what a slip-on should be. Two clamps, a hanger bracket and the standard silencer comes off. It is a job for a home garage with a torque wrench, not a workshop booking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn Older Machine, Still Working\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe last of these left the factory in 2017 and BMW replaced the platform with the F 750 GS and F 850 GS. Plenty are still in daily use, and they are exactly the sort of motorcycle whose owner keeps improving it rather than replacing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEC and ECE type approved, with a separate US EPA approval.
