whats the best can to go for??

[rscarl89]

hi i have just brought a 2002 fzs 600 fazer and was wondering what can is best for sound and performance and should i uprate the air filter to??? thanks

I have a 98 fazer with a Delkevic 350mm stubby on. Without the baffle it is stupidly loud and nice. With the baffle it just cuts down the base.

If you can find one, go for a custom Chrome racing can. They are rare and not made any more. the firm make car cans but the gaffer had a fazer so a limited number were made for it. I'm on my phone the now so can't link you but if you go to YouTube and search fazer and custom etc, you'll get a video of mine.

I was lucky one came up and I only paid 70 for it, was my fave bit of kit when I was riding that bike. so much so that I'm thinking of trying to convert it to fit on Gixxer

After a recent visit to have my bike Dyno'd i was told that there's not too much difference between a decent stock paper air filter compared to a K&N on the 600 Fazer's, although the K&N certainly feels to me like it breathes easier, and economically makes more sense as it'll be the last filter you buy because they are washable with a million mile guarantee!
The K&N filter, along with the Yamaha filter, will also fit a damn site better than any cheaper aftermarket one's you'll find on Ebay. The Hi-Flo one i had in before had about 10mm play in it, whereas the K&N was an exact airtight fit.

I have an SP Engineering Moto GP end can, that has British Standard markings on, and as long as the baffle remains in place is perfectly road legal. (not my bike in video but same end can)

@xlewisbdx, it could be my imagination, but your tickover sounded a little bit erratic to me, when was the last time you had the carbs balanced?

I have a Beowulf Warrior on mine - I always run it with the baffle out and have followed / been followed by police without any issue.

The sound quality of the video isn't fantastic i'm afraid

That isn't my bike :b

Ha ha, okay, no worries then  :lol

inline 4 engines don't have much of a note to them imo. they're either screaming or they're screaming louder. having said that i have a scorpion exhaust :lol

[darrsi]

I have a Quill race can that i had on before which has a lovely deep sound to it, and was reasonably quiet at low revs then would scream when you opened the throttle, but it had a knack of giving me a headache within 20mins of riding the bike!

I have a Blueflame one on mine which has a nice deep note.

I have a Micron and its as noisy as fuck. I believe its been cut down so no baffle at all. So far it hasn't attracted the attention of the law.
