Congatulations Very beautiful. How long it takes from the day you order the exhaust until they delivered? What ECU program do you use-need with this exhaust? Do you need to change or move the radiator? as need it for the FM full exhaust? Thanks

It’s close enough to the catless Akra exhaust that the upmap the dealership put in the bike for the Akra will work. I’m going to instal Woolich on my bike though, as I have the highest flowing Sprint air filter and this Spark WSBK Exhaust so I can get as much power out of her as I can.

took about 3 months to get the WSBK version of the Spark, it’s hand made by their racing division….they kept pushing back the shipment until I finally complained enough that they went to one of the trucks with all the inventory being sent to the race teams for the season and pulled a system off the truck and sent it to me.

In addition to what Steven said above, Spark markets a handheld tuner for use with this exhaust system (included with the system if paying retail, but not if paying dealer pricing apparently?). I have the same system and got the handheld tuner for it ($700 iirc) - plan to try that first and if the results aren’t good, go with Woolich.

Thanks you very much guys. Anyone know anything about the new Akrapovic under the seat exhaust? It’s just went out on the market. They said that fits to 916 as a shape but the update map not. And that if I install it with out to update the ECU it will damage the engine. Any suggestions?? Thanks

It will fit but you'll need some sort of tune for it to run optimally. There's a slight difference with how the 22+ bikes route the gas tank overflow and coolant overflow to the outside of the bike, but its not anything difficult to sort out. They also have 4 O2 sensors, so you'll need some plugs since you'd only use 2, and some tunes disable them.

If you want to see what's involved in the install, the instructions are posted on this site.

Looks great. The radiator. It must be replaced cause the exhaust doesn’t fit with the original radiator? Or is an optional updated?

optional upgrade, exhaust fits the bike except one thing, the kickstand needs to be modified so it doesn’t touch the exhaust

Thank you Steven. Let me know when it’s done and if you are satisfied with the exhaust. I’m waiting for your opinion to install an exhaust. Did you hear it how it’s sounds yet?

The Akrapovich Titanium full race exhaust that we just took off is for sale if anyone wants it, as are the Stylema front brake calipers, and the stock swingarm.

Thank you for letting me know. You save me from a lot of troubles. Plus my opinion is the people of Spark at Italy they have terrible customers support
