The passenger footpegs have to come off to fit this pipe, and it cannot be mounted on an R nineT equipped with an emissions canister. Either one rules the part out for some motorcycles entirely, and neither is visible on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the high-mounted muffler position, not the low one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe passenger footpegs must be removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill not fit an R nineT with an emissions canister\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium, 2.6 kg against a standard 4.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEC and ECE type approved, plus US EPA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.4 Nm more at 2,750 rpm, very low in the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNinety minutes of workshop time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh or Low: Two Different Pipes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R nineT can be built with the muffler high, alongside the seat, or low in the conventional position. Akrapovic makes a link pipe for each, and they are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the high one. The low version is a different part number, weighs a kilogram less and takes a third of the time to fit, because it does not have to climb over the swingarm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Emissions Canister\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome R nineT machines, depending on market and year, carry an evaporative emissions canister. Where one is fitted, this pipe cannot be mounted — Akrapovic states that outright, and it is a hard incompatibility rather than a difficult fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck under the seat and along the frame before ordering. A canister is a plastic cylinder about the size of a soft drink can, plumbed into the fuel tank breather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Passenger Footpegs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey come off and they do not go back. On a motorcycle many owners ride two-up occasionally, that is a real decision rather than a detail, and it is worth settling before the parcel arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApproved, Which Is Unusual Here\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA titanium link pipe that keeps EC and ECE type approval is not common. Most of the pipes in this catalogue are track parts. This one is road legal with no entry in the vehicle documents, which is what makes the fitting conditions worth working around rather than walking away from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTorque Where an Air-Cooled Boxer Lives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic records 1.4 Nm more at 2,750 rpm. That is remarkably low — below three thousand revs, in the part of the range where BMW's air-cooled twin does most of its work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recorded peak torque figure is 109.9 Nm against a standard 111, which is lower rather than higher. Both numbers come from the manufacturer and both are given here; the useful one is the gain down low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNinety Minutes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn hour and a half, which is long for a link pipe and follows from the routing: the pipe has to run up and over to reach a muffler mounted beside the seat. The footpeg removal is part of that work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Note on the Noise Data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic's record for this part has its noise fields transposed, listing what is plainly an engine speed where the decibel value belongs. The intended reading appears to be 98 dB at 3,875 rpm, and it is given here as an indication rather than a verified figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEC and ECE type approved, plus a US EPA approval.
