For a road bike that is the right way round — the FZ8 lives in the middle of its rev range, and that is where this silencer does its work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo kilograms flat, against a standard silencer of 5.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEC type approved, with a separate US EPA approval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon fibre outer sleeve and end cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e103.3 PS, read at 10,000 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e79.5 Nm, with 3.9 more measured at 5,570 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlip-on: headers and mid-section stay standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Torque Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic records the torque increase at 5,570 rpm and the power increase at 10,000. Almost every silencer in this catalogue puts both near the top; here they are four and a half thousand revs apart, and the lower of the two is the one a rider notices on a road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.9 Nm at five and a half thousand on a 779 cc four is roll-on in third gear rather than a number for the dyno printout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSixty-One Per Cent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.2 kg standard down to 2. Yamaha's silencer on this machine is a large steel unit with the catalytic converter feeding it, and replacing it with a carbon can removes more than three kilograms from behind the rider's right leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a 215 kg motorcycle it is not transformative. It is, though, one of the larger proportional savings a plain slip-on achieves anywhere in this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCarbon or Titanium\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic built this slip-on in two versions and says so in its own description: one with a carbon fibre outer sleeve, one in titanium, both with a carbon end cap. This part number is the carbon one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon is the lighter of the two and it stays black. Titanium takes a heat colour over time, which some owners want and others do not. Neither is more durable in a way that matters over the life of the bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Names, One Motorcycle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha sold the naked FZ8 and the half-faired FZ8 Fazer alongside each other from 2010 to 2015. Underneath they are the same machine with the same exhaust, so one part number serves both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApproved for the Road\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEC type approval, and separately a US EPA approval. In Germany that means no entry in the vehicle documents and no discussion at a check. It is a type approval and not an ABE, and the certificate in the box is what proves it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Headers Stay Put\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a silencer only. Yamaha's headers, collector and catalytic converter all remain, which is what keeps the approval intact and the fitting straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn Ageing Middleweight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FZ8 was Yamaha's answer to riders who found the FZ1 too much and the FZ6 too little. It sold steadily rather than spectacularly, and the ones still on the road are owned by people who chose them deliberately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEC type approved, plus US EPA.
