I'll believe it when I see it.

How about posting pics!

[Baracudaaa]

Nothing on the Yoshi site about a new RS-5. Did I miss the announcement party, or is this B/S?

[rh250r]

It's true, I've seen it. What I would like to know if there is any power gain over the old one?

[AL Elks]

No you haven't. That's why I asked for pics. I talked to them on the phone today and they are not even working on a round canister and have no plans to.

OOPS!

Well what did YOSH Garrett mean by his reply to my question?

-----> Yoshi Forums (http://store.yoshimura-rd.com/forum/topic.asp?code=J%3DTC%3CVGE&TOPIC_ID=202&FORUM_ID=9&CAT_ID=8&Topic_Title=Test+News%2E%2E%2E%2E&Forum_Title=Yoshimura+Suzuki+ATV+Race+Team). I mean they had to of have changed it a lil right?

What do you think?

It means that the end cap is round not the can itself. The end cap is the part at the very end of the exhaust.

[AL Elks]

Just a little more info as I called them to ask them a few more questions.


Well it looks like Yoshi stepped up to the plate and updated their cans. They were having problems with a few of the originals which we have all seen on this site (the one that melted the seat and plastics). The new can has a round end cap. Now the interesting thing is that they say they are getting an additional 1/2hp more from the updated system. Unfortunately for those of us who already have the Yoshi we cannot upgrade our cans. Due to design change. You have to buy the entire can at $275.

Just some updated info!

[LTR450_#67]

So I was kinda half right... Whatever, I just wanna see it more than anything. It probably looks somewhat like a DASA maybe now. Thanks for the info Al!!!

Any time!

It is not going to look like the DASA though because it not going to be round. Look at it like this. The whole can is going to be triangular. Only the end cap will be round from what they told me.

[diangelo#67]

[diangelo#67]

Called yoshi and the tech dept said that there is no power gain, they even told me that they had a dino sheet saying that there is no difference.

On the other had my mechanic said yoshi told him that there was 1-2 hp gain and that you can send the can back and they will change the end cap for a small fee of course (don't know how much).

So whats the truth?
