Bandit 400 exhaust on GK73?

Post by bluex5 »

Looking for clarification -

As i understand, a Bandit 400 exhaust will fit a GK73 as long as you swop to the flat type sump?

I assume otherwise the headers and bottom mount all line up ok?

Thanks!

I know it will if you have the aftermarket stainless headers. Yes you have to change the sump and the pickup, and may have to use the correct sump bolts.
Only downside is you'll prob have to re-jet and they ground out easy on bumps on full lean. I kept catching mine at Cadwell park mountain, and I've jacked my rear up 10mm. It's not bad enough to have you off though!

surprised that it touched down, i run a B4 one (after market) no problems although they touch the lower fairing.

I've done the gsxr600k7 rear shock mod, and right at the bottom of the mountain it would hit the floor every lap on the bump. It's ok on every other corner though. but the fairing scraping also. My system only attaches at the headers and the can strap, no lower mounts. It was even ok when the hanger snapped and was just held on by the engine!!
