Suzuki TL1000R bike - exhaust restriction
(OP)
Suzuki seem to have deliberately put an "crimp" in the bikes left exhaust pipe. As there is a "cross pipe" there will be more flow through the right exhaust than through the left.
What is the reasoning for this?
Thanks

Or it could be their method of quieting the exhaust on one side, to change the exhaust noise level at a certain position behind the bike to meet noise emission requirements.
Do the aftermarket full systems have something similar? IIRC, they were run in Superbike for a year or two, so there probably was some testing done on this.

I wonder if this is what keeps the R at slightly lower performance. If you compare the specs, the S has slightly higher HP and other characteristics due to the open body design.
Cabbages, knickers, It hasn't got A BEAK!
