Yoshimura TRC full system installation
Does anyone have a full Yoshimura TRC? I was reading the instructions and it says to rotate the rear axle so the nut is on the left side. It says ''caution failure to rotate axle could cause injury'' What's this about and is it easy to do? It also says to remove radiator bracket at bottom and tilt radiator forward. Is this the long bracket at the bottom and do I have to loosen any other bolts? This is the first time I'm doing this and your suggestions are appreciated.

The muffler must hug the swing arm very tightly if it needs an additional 1/2" of clearance. My yosh r77 has *plenty* of room in that area.
Unbolting the radiator brackets is easy and provides the space needed to get at the nuts holding the primary tubes to the exhaust ports.

I called yoshimura and they said I have to rotate the axle so the nut is on the left side because of clearance. Has anybody done this and knows how to do it?

They said it takes 15 minutes its easy and it can be installed on eather side. Why do I have to take it to a shop. I was thinking with a rubber mallet slide it out and revearse it. It looks like I don't need to take the caliper and the wheel off. What you guys think?

My spool sticks out 1.5 inches more and is 1/4 inch lower than the axle nut. I might not have to revearse since is mounting on the same brackets as the stock and the distance right now from stock can to axle nut is about 5 inches and the yoshimura looks smaller. What you guys think?

you don't have to, but because you asked "how" to turn an axle around. If you are asking questions like that a shop may be best for you,

I'm not being a smart ass but I thought the same thing when I read you asking how to turn the axle around. it is a simple 10 to 15 minute job but also a important one when your talking the rear axle and wheel assembly. of course I'm sure you know you will need to readjust your chain and tq the axle nut right?

Yes you are being a smart ass. have you rotated an axle before or even heard about it? rotating the axle is not a common thing that everybody does and knows about. what's wrong with asking about it? After I found out myself just by looking at the axle and put the information out, now some people act like experts. don't want to answer a question or don't know how then don't give bs answer like take it to dealer or answer a question with a question.

Have you ever had the wheel off? If so, you should know what would be involved with flipping the axle around.

I have had mine flipped around for about 4 years no big deal I did it when I installed the pipe. Yes the Yosh does hug the side of the bike and if the suspension travels it could hit. Not much to think about just reverse the axle as I recall. Now the nut is on the left side. Have to have the bike on a stand put something under to support the tire. Of course a shop could do it easily if you don't do your own maintenance.

I was just looking out for you if you couldn't do it, the way you posted it sounded like it would be best to have someone do it for you, just saw your post you removed your secondary throttle plates a few days ago, was that done by a shop?

Yes I've rotated almost ever axle on my Busa's and 14's so they did not dent the exhaust can. I do all my own work. sorry but it's very common. that's why I gave you the info on re adjusting your chain and using a TQ wrench for the axle nut. maybe you missed that part.

I know how to adjust the chain and torque the nut. The question was about rotating the axle and since nobody was answering the question I didn't think it was common or it could hit the exhaust.

I modified mine a little and i got some extensions but this is how it turned out.... The header is a PITA to put on so i took the whole radiator out, much much easier
To play with just the bolts and a couple hoses, and if the axle nut is the way just take the rear wheel off and switch the axle around so the nut is on the left side

That short muffler looks cool! You really thought the header was that bad? I was quite surprised how easy it went together. I'm not real happy with the oil filter clearance, though.

I have the TRC system fitted and swapped the axle as per the instructions. I assumed it was for clearance but noticed after fitting mine that a few guys here had the same pipe fitted and not reversed the axle. They didn't appear to have any problems. It's hard to assess the actual clearance as, at rest, the pipe sits higher than the axel but mine (with the swapped axle) appears to have plenty of clearance so as to not need the axle changing over.
I assume somebody must have fitted a silencer badly at some point, made contact between nut and pipe and now Yoshi include the instruction just to cover their backs.
