2022+ XSR900 / 2021+ MT09 FULL STAINLESS EXHAUST SYSTEM

from A$1,240.00

Our stainless full systems transform the tonal and visual mix of the newest generation of CP3 engines, whilst shedding 3-4kg of weight (muffler depending) and allowing for significantly improved torque and horsepower. Our systems utilise high flow catalytic converters and removable dB killers to conform to most region’s noise restrictions, and all three variants are capable of 121-126hp at the rear wheel once tuned, a massive increase on the 105hp at the rear wheel from stock.

The Kelpi 22+ CP3 systems come with three muffler options to suit you and your bike’s styling and tastes. The Shorty and Flanker options offer an underslung style of exhaust for a sleek looking finish that stays mostly tucked underneath. They’re light, and on the deep and loud side when not running their included dB killers. Our Shorty system is easily recognizable with its alloy end cap, and gives off more classic styling notes of the 60’s and 70’s with a bass heavy grunt of a note. The carbon tipped Flanker plants the XSR900 back into the modern sport bike aesthetic with a low burble of a note. Our hydroformed Alpha system sweeps up the side of the swingarm, following the subframe line in a more 80’s and 90’s inspired position with a machined hanger running from behind the heel guard. The Alpha system is much longer, slightly heavier, and has a more moderate volume and a styling that accentuates the curved accents of the bike, rather than the boxy features of the bike that are accentuated with the chunky stock exhaust box. With a quick-change end-cap baffle, it’s also the best system for performance gains without retuning the bike, and has a smoother tonal characteristic that makes it a pleasure to ride long distance kms with. The Alpha is 3-4dB quieter than the Flanker and Shorty for reference.

Performance gains and decreased weight can be had straight away from the exhaust system swap itself. For general road use, these systems can be run on the stock tune with no issues, and running them with the baffle will have a better air fuel ratio than without. That said, if you’re doing upgrades to both the intake and exhaust, and tossing the baffle in the quest for more glorious horses, an ECU flash or dynotune become increasingly important and beneficial. In partnership with Kevin Hope we have developed a purpose built tune specific to our systems that is the result of four months of onboard data logging and dyno tuning. Please get in touch with us via email to arrange this.

Straight off the bat on the stock tune, an increase of +5.35HP can be seen with a weight saving of 2.904kg (6.402lbs).
- Based on our Full system with the Flanker muffler, no baffle*

FITMENT (MODELS)
- Shorty & Flanker Systems are compatible for XSR900 (22’+), MT09 (21+) & Tracer 900 (22+)
- Alpha full system is available for XSR900 (22+) only

- Setup includes headers, collector, link pipe, catalytic converter, muffler, fasteners, springs and removable baffle insert

- The Quietcore baffle is an optional baffle to for our systems which replaces our standard dB killer, offering significant volume reduction to the exhaust at the expense of some top end power. When selecting the Quietcore baffle, you will still receive our standard baffle and be able to swap between for 3 distinct volumes and tones. 

- Can be installed with basic hand tools in 1-2 hours (HEX set, sockets & wrenches etc)

- To compare systems check out the sound checks here https://shorturl.at/buEXZ

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1: UNINSTALL YOUR STOCK SYSTEM

1. Cut the zip tie at the coolant hose join

2. Remove the o2 sensor with a 17mm spanner

3. Remove radiator mount between engine and radiator via the bolt into the motor and then leverage the radiator forward to give yourself more space to work with. You can then remove the two allen key bolts at the top of the radiator to give much more space to work with.

4. Ideally using a 12mm socket on a socket joint with 3" extender bar, remove the header flange nuts holding the motor to the exhaust headers.

5. Once your headers are free and your o2 sensor is out of the way, remove the two 12mm lower muffler support bolts (one on each side below the footpegs) and wiggle the exhaust down and out.

6. Dab some grease onto the exhaust gaskets which may have already fallen out to stick them into the motor before attempting to fit the new headers.

Note: You can replace your exhaust gaskets cheaply, but as these are torqued very lightly from factory and it's a new bike, it is fine to reuse and simply add a few NM of torque to the factory spec to crush the gasket slightly to seal.

STEP 2: INSTALLING YOUR KELPI SYSTEM

1. Assemble the individual headers to merge collector using the spring positions as a guide until you have an aligned set of headers, then spring them up.

2. Wiggle your headers on and get the plate over the header flanges with your flange nuts on a couple of turns, watching to ensure you're getting the headers cleanly into the motor exhaust ports as you do. This can take some time and is often best done by getting the each cylinder's flange plate on with header flange nuts tightened just enough to have their positions correctly in the exhaust ports. As long as none of the nuts are tightened too much, the other headers will be able to be wiggled into place and the link pipe fitment becomes simple.

3. Before you've tightened the header flange nuts, install the link pipe (with high flow cat) by inserting it onto the merge, rotating it clockwise so that the bracket fits in.

behind it's mounting point. Use existing bolt plus supplied m8 nut to fasten the link pipe into place. Ideally you want this sitting as far forward on it's mounting slot as possible, and this is why it's important to leave the header flange nuts slightly loose until you've got the stock exhaust mounting bolt into the link hanger slot with our supplied nut torqued to standard M8 specs in Step 6.

4. Attach two springs between the merge collector and the link pipe, and then connect three springs from the flange plates that sit against the motor to each header pipe. There are multiple holes cut into the plates to allow different spots, but a spring puller tool or hook tool is highly recommended as there isn't a great deal of space to work with.

5. Torque down your header flange nuts to seal the headers to the motor.

6. Before fitting the muffler it can be helpful to remove the footpeg assembly to more easily fasten up bolts. Keep it raised up out of the way with a zip tie.

7. Slot the muffler onto the link pipe, with the dB killer in our out depending on your preference. Seal it in place with two springs from the muffler to the exhaust system.

8. There's a 14mm bolt on a frame mounting point that's under the footpeg position and to the left of the link pipe mounting point. Remove the bolt and mount the black powdercoated bracket into position so that it aligns with the muffler and ensures clearance from the swingarm. For Flanker systems, it's important to position it up and refit the footpeg setup to check clearance from the rear brake. For positioning, you're wanting to sit the muffler roughly 5-15mm off of the swingarm with any amount of clearance from the brake pivot's full travel, as once you're seated the system will drop lower.

9. Once you've set your muffler position, torque down the muffler hanger bolt and then the 14mm bolt on the frame mounting side. This can be adjusted down the track by loosening your muffler hanger bolt and shifting the muffler position before tightening the bolt on the muffler slot and fixing it's new position.

10. Rotate your o2 sensor counter clockwise 6-7 full rotations and then screw it into the new exhaust system o2 bung - this will ensure it's not twisted. Check torque spec for the o2 sensor as it does not require a great deal of force and can be damaged easily.

11. Nip up the 02 sensor with a spanner and add a fresh zip tie to keep it in place on the radiator hose.

PERFORMANCE NOTES

Your systems come with baffles, which bring the volume down considerably, and work nicely with the stock tune. Using them is purely up to the owner's preference however, we highly recommended putting them in when going in for roadworthy inspections. If you’re wanting the best top end performance, running no baffle and having the bike dynotuned to suit is the best way to achieve that, but the baffled system sounds great and feels both smooth and responsive on the stock tune.


NOTE: Do not turn your motorcycle on or start the bike until you have reinstalled the o2 sensor. Failure to do this will result in a ‘check engine’ code being thrown which will cost $50 for yamaha to reset the code if you don’t have your own OBDLink scan tool and know-how.
