Yoshimura AT2 Race Series Titanium Exhaust

When it came to crafting a special race exhaust for the Yamaha R7, we pulled out all the stops. Created with premium alloy material then prototype after prototype until we reached the final test system. On a stock engine with no mods and 91 octane pump fuel, this new system creates +6.2% max HP and +2.7% max torque. This system is designed to create even more performance with motor work and our airbox so the gains we publish are just the start of a powerful package.

Loosing over 11 lbs. from the stock system our AT2 is ready to make your R7 move! The design of the AT2 tucks nicely under the lower cowling to keep it away from harms way as much as possible.

Yoshimura #ProjectR7 Camshafts

Camshafts are the heart of any engine and is where tuning started for us. In 1954 Pop Yoshimura was grinding cams by hand. A lot of time has passed since then, one thing has not…passion.

Yoshimura Swingarm Pivot Kit

When combined with our Suspension Link part #400BG137200 the two components enhance the handling of the R7 perfectly!

Yoshimura Suspension Linkage Kit

OEM linkage is designed for street and 2-up riding, low ratio, high progression. Engineering the Yamaha R7 to be more stable at the higher speeds for racing is crucial. So we enlisted a world renowned suspension/chassis engineer to get the R7 right for racing.

Our suspension link system works by modifying the linkage ratio and progression with a higher ratio and adds more linear progression. This set up is designed to work well with the stock OEM R7 front end.

This link is designed for enthusiast track days and professional racing.
