    Hideo Pops Yoshimura and his namesake company are legendary in the world of motorcycle racing. Pops story begins in Japan, where he established his personal reputation working on the BSAs and Triumphs of servicemen stationed there. In 1954 Pops took his ambition to the next level, launching the company Yoshimura in Japan and quickly becoming renowned for giving his customers the competitive edge they craved.

    With success in Japan as his foundation, Pops set a new goal: racing in Americas Daytona 200. The next step toward achieving his dream was to open Yoshimura Research and Development of America, Inc., which he did in 1971 in North Hollywood, California. In 1976, the AMA established the official Superbike series with its first event at of course Daytona. Yoshimura took on the competition with a young Kawasaki rider named Wes Cooley. Wes finished fourth at Daytona that inaugural year, and in 1977 Yoshimura and Cooley followed with a third-place podium finish.

    Then came the breakthrough year of 1978. Yoshimura made a historic switch by forming a business relationship with Suzuki. Yoshimura had been able to breathe fire into the Kawasaki, but with Suzuki he had the chance to work with a bike that handled. Results were instantaneous: Steve McLaughlin on a Yoshimura- built GS1000 won the Daytona Su-perbike race for Yoshimura and Suzuki. Proving the win was hardly a fluke, Team Yoshimura racers Ron Pierce, Wes Cooley and Dave Emde finished 1-2-3 at Daytona in 1979. From 1978 through 1981, Yoshimura and Suzuki won four straight Daytona Superbike races, with Cooley winning the 1979 and 1980 AMA Superbike titles as icing on the cake.

    In 1981, Pops went back home to Japan, while his son Fujio Yoshimura stayed in America to take Yoshimura R&D of America to the next level. When Pops retired, Fujio headed home to run Yoshimura Japan. In his place, Suehiro Watanabe (Nabe) became the head of Yoshimura R&D of America. In 2005, Nabe decided to focus on the Research and Devel-opment operations of Yoshimura, and Don Sakakura became the head of Yoshimura R&D America. Today, Don also oversees the day-to-day operation of the Yoshimura Suzuki Road Race Team, Team Yoshimura Suzukis motocross and supercross team and the companys collabora-tion with Factory Honda Racing and GEICO Honda Racing.

    To bring Pops story full circle, he came out for Daytona every year after his retirement. In his later years, Pops enjoyed his accomplishments and he never lost the passion to win. Pops passed away in 1995, leaving a legacy that will live on in the history of Superbike racing.

    Yoshimura is renowned for its research and development. But producing the finest exhaust systems in the world requires more than a big R&D department. Yoshimura is the leading manufacturer of exhaust systems because our commitment to R&D is matched by our dedication to uncompromising quality standards and our expertise in manufacturing pipes that meet those standards.

    From the companys beginning, weve understood that cutting-edge research and develop-ment sets Yoshimura apart from the competition. Thats why we built a completely separate facility dedicated only to R&D. Creating an environment where everyone is focused on a single mission allows our talented technicians to develop improved designs while continu-ally raising the bar on product quality. The Yoshimura motto is simple and has not changed since the companys inception: Make the best parts possible, and never compromise.

    Actually producing exhaust pipes that meet our quality standards is no simple task, but our manufacturing group consistently pulls it off. The attention to detail and old-world craftsmanship that goes into making Yoshimura products is impossible to replicate with a machine. The technicians at work here are artists the exhaust systems they produce are pieces of art. All of this talent, tools and raw metal come together to form the best exhaust systems in the world.

    Street & Road Race Research and DevelopmentYoshimura has dedicated countless hours of R&D matched by extensive testing to develop EPA noise-compliant slip-on exhaust systems. Moreover, every one of these mufflers features the crafts-manship, attention to detail and high quality that Yoshimura has prided itself on for over 55 years.

    Yoshimura ExhaustsThere are many ways to increase the performance of a sport bike, but the best and most effective way is by increasing the efficiency of the engines exhaust system. In fact, the engines ability to produce power is directly proportional to how quickly it can expel spent gases.

    Over the last five decades, Yoshimura has invested millions of dollars in R&D and manufacturing equipment to ensure that were on the cutting edge of exhaust system technology matching motorcycle engine advances stride for stride. Where tubes used to be cut with hacksaws and bent by hand over a torch, we now have CNC cut-off saws to accurately cut pipes to length while multi-level CNC tube benders shape pipes to exact specifications.

    Despite these advances, including the use of computer-controlled robot welding machines, weve remained true to our commitment to weld our pipes by hand. Our racing and R&D groups combine science and art including hand-crafted design and manufacturing to extract a level of performance from our exhaust systems that simply cannot be rivaled by any high-tech gadget or tool in the world.

    At Yoshimura, we make replacement parts available for those times when some repairs are in order. Just call one of our Sales Techs with what you need. Sales Department: 1-800-634-9166.

    Yoshimura Slip-On and Full SystemsMore than 55 years after the introduction of Yoshimuras Racing Full Exhaust Systems, we continue to build succeeding generations of exhaust systems that provide unparal-leled power, performance and quality.

    The full systems are designed with nothing but power in mind. Our knowledgeable R&D technicians use their years of experience and expertise to make truly remarkable pipes. In addition, we have more pipe-bending tooling than any company in the business, allowing us to create the best systems available period.

    Slip-Ons are designed to utilize the stock OEM header. Depending on applications slip-ons are available as a bolt-on directly to the flange of the OE tail pipe, or with a yoshimura tail pipe to mount the collector of the OE header.

    Our list of innovations is long and growing, highlighting the fact that some companies are just discovering certain manufacturing techniques and technology weve been perfecting for 35 years, such as our duplex systems. Compare Yoshimura exhaust systems to the competition and youll see theres simply no match for their quality and attention to detail, which gives you confidence that youre going to get a perfect fit and outstanding performance.

    ALUMINUM RACING ROOFSpending all day in your SXS is a blast! But the sun and environment can eventually take their toll on even the best of drivers. We designed our Aluminum Racing Roof to provide maximum protection from the sun, keeping in-car temperatures more pleasant for driver and passenger. Aluminum keeps the weight down, but sturdy enough for the harshest of conditions.

    ROOST GUARDSThese Roost Guards protect vital components under the front cowling, especially the Oil Cooler and Brake Master Cylinder. We discovered a lot of dirt and debris gets kicked up into these areas while turn-ing. Protecting these components and maintaining oil temperatures is important in all aspects of driving. Roost Guards deflect debris, protecting your Oil Cooler and Brake System from serious damage.

    ALUMINUM WIND DEFLECTORThe Aluminum Wind Deflector provides even more comfort for all day excursions. By deflecting air upward from the front of the car, it reduces turbulence and helmet buffeting, allowing the driver to remain focused and less fatigued. The deflector also limits the amount of dirt, mud, and debris hitting the occupants while racing or trailing others off-road.

    RZR XP 900CARBON FIBER INTAKE SCOOPSThe stock RZR XP 900 intake panels are adequate, but we needed something better. We designed these Air Scoops to fit over the stock intake ports, providing maximum air-flow to the engine. They are not only extremely functional, but lightweight and styled to compliment the RZRs sharp lines.

    RZR XP900RADIATOR ROOST GUARDThe Radiator Roost Guard was one of the first products we developed for the RZR XP. Protecting your radiator and maintaining coolant tem-peratures is important in all aspects of driving. While racing, we found a lot of mud and debris accumulated on the radiator causing undesirable temperatures. The Radiator Roost Guard deflect debris off to the side allowing your radiator to remain clear and do its job. This is a great alter-native to spending hundreds more on a radiator relocation kit.

    RZRCARBON FIBER MIRROR KITWhile most of our R&D focuses on maximizing performance, were also concerned about safety. The more we ran our RZR at the track and off-road, the more we desired mirrors. This kit is simple to install and the convex mirror provides much needed vision behind you. Similar to our air scoops, they feature lightweight carbon/aluminum construction and styled for the RZR Series.

    IN-HOUSE ENGINE SERVICESThis is the way to go if you are serious about winning. Once your suspension is dialed in, and you are pretty well sorted out with your bike, its time to look at adding some more power. Starts are everything in racing.

    At Yoshimura, we have been building four-stroke racing engines for over 50 years. We understand that your engine is the sum of many parts. We do not simply throw a big cam in, pop up the compression, and create a time bomb. Depending on which stage of engine modification you choose, we build power at self-sustaining, balanced levels.

    ATV & OFF-ROAD ENGINE KITSIf you want to win, youll need the best engine performance you can get. Yoshimura offers three basic levels of engine perfor-mance upgrades.

    STAGE 1Stage 1 is the basic hop-up that best fits the average racer. This is the correct choice if you are racing in the C or B class (be-ginner or novice). Stage 1 has excellent reliability yet gives the racer a healthy dose of power when used in conjunction with a Yoshimura pipe.

    STAGE 2Stage 2 is for the racer who is a top contender in the interme-diate or B class. The compression is upped, the head modified, and a Yoshimura billet cam tops off the Stage 2 list. The increase in compression will require more maintenance, but all in all, the Stage 2 engine kit provides a very strong yet reliable engine. Stage 2A is a completely assembled engine.

    STAGE 3Stage 3 is a full-tilt racing engine featuring big horsepower gains. This is the choice for a serious amateur or pro rider who is looking to win and will accept nothing less than the best. Every part of a Stage 3 engine is manicured or modified; even the gear sets and internal transmission parts are polished and matched using our in-house Yoshimura Isotropic Surface Finish Process. Stage 3 is a completely assembled engine.

    ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSYoshimura has been a leadership company in EFI management for years. By the time all these other guys figure out what we already know - the race will be over. Check out our race proven PIM2 units for off-road racing applications, and our Em Pro for road racing applications. They have a long track record of perfor-mance, durability, and ease of use.

    ISF PROCESSYoshimura has an in-house Isotropic Superfinishing Process (ISF) department, and thats where we can blueprint your engines gear sets just as its done on Formula 1 machines. This technology allows your engine to run more freely through decreased friction and proper interaction of reciprocating parts.

    Even though typical ISF treatments include gear sets and internal transmission parts, all of the reciprocating parts will benefit from the ISF process. We use this same process on our 240-horsepower Superbike racing engines, as well as 70-horsepower Motocross/ATV racing mills. The mirror-like finish reduces friction on all reciprocating surfaces, reducing drag and increasing durability. It also reduces heat sig-nificantly, which makes for a smoother-running engine. After ISF treatment, every reciprocating part interacts smoothly and the combined reduction in friction unleashes previously trapped power.

    Unleashing trapped power, lowering operating temperatures, and giving your machine that winning feeling is a good thing.

    BEFORE AFTER

    CAMSHAFTSYoshimura has been making high-end camshafts for more than 50 years. We started out designing Superbike camshafts, but have since expanded the line of camshafts to include motocross motorcycles and ATVs. Yoshimuras expertise and years of experience in building the best camshafts in the business is legendary. All Yoshimura camshafts are constructed from one-piece billet or blanks, not re-grind. As a result, our cams not only perform at the highest level possible, but they are also extremely durable.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT AFTER-MARKET EXHAUST SYSTEMS FOR MOTORCYCLES AND ATVS IN CALIFORNIA.

    This is Motorcycle Industry Councils interpretation of California law and regulations related to after-market exhaust systems. MIC has prepared this information in an effort to clarify related issues for dealers in California.

    What exhaust systems and slip-on mufflers can a California dealer sell or install without violating California air pollution control requirements?

    After-market exhaust systems that can legally be sold under Californias air pollution control requirements are (1) systems that are des-ignated replacement parts, (2) systems considered modified parts for which an Executive Order has been issued, and (3) systems only for use on racing vehicles that have been adequately identified as such.

    What exhaust systems and slip-on mufflers are considered replacement parts?

    Under California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations, Replacement parts are parts that have the same effect on emissions as the original equipment part that they are intended to replace. In the case of exhaust systems for motorcycles and ATVs, CARB considers after-market exhaust systems to be replacement parts if either of the following conditions is met:

    1. The vehicle was not originally equipped with a catalyst and all emission controls originally connected to the exhaust system are reconnected to the after-market exhaust system and are functioning properly. (It is rare for other emission controls to be connected to a non-catalyst motorcycle or ATV exhaust system, but examples include an exhaust gas oxygen sensor or an air injection system.)

    2. The vehicle was originally equipped with one or more catalysts, but the catalyst(s) are retained and all emission controls originally connected to the exhaust system (e.g., an oxygen sensor) are reconnected to the after-market exhaust system and are functioning properly.

    As long as they meet the above definition of replacement parts, slip-on mufflers are legal for use on the road unless the muffler being replaced contained a catalyst.

    How can I tell if a modified exhaust system has been approved?

    Modified parts are components that are designed to perform differently from original equipment components with respect to emis-sions control. Under CARB regulations, any exhaust system component that replaces an original equipment catalyst or eliminates a pro-vision for an exhaust gas oxygen sensor or some other emissions control device connected to the exhaust system is a modified part.

    After-market part manufacturers are required to provide a label to identify modified parts that have been approved for sale. The label will indicate the manufacturers name, device name and a valid Executive Order (E.O.) number assigned by CARB. The format of the E.O. number is D-xxx-xxx, where xxx is a series of designated numbers. The label is either affixed directly to the part itself or included with the part with instructions to install it in a visible location.

    When can I sell a modified exhaust system without a CARB label?

    Parts for Racing Vehicles may be sold under certain circumstances without CARB approval. Under Health and Safety Code Section 39048, the term Racing vehicle is defined to mean a competition vehicle not used on public highways. Under California Health and Safety Code Section 43001, air pollution control requirements do not apply to racing vehicles. Exhaust systems for competition ve-hicles not used on public highways are also exempt. CARB allows the marketing and sale of modified parts for competition use only provided an adequate disclaimer is used in any advertising and packaging.

    Can I install an unapproved after-market exhaust system that was purchased by the owner from out of state?

    Installation of unapproved after-market exhaust systems is legal only if the systems are replacement parts or being installed on a |motorcycle or ATV for competition use only.
