Click the YouTube video down below to watch a quick video clip of this Leo Vince LV Race Full Exhaust System installed on our 2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP Project Bike.
This is one of our favorite exhaust systems for the Yamaha MT-09. Having run Leo Vince exhausts on a few of our project bikes, like our KTM 690 SMCR , Yamaha Tenere 700 and Honda Transalp, I've always been very pleased with the quality, looks, sound and performance.
Installation: Installation was pretty straightforward. Instructions are included. The only tricky thing about installing exhaust systems on these bikes is the radiator being in the way, so you have to unbolt it and move it a bit to make room, otherwise a very simple install.
Looks: I wasn't sure if I would like the look of this exhaust on our MT-09 SP, but was pleasantly surprised. It has a very unique design compared to other exhausts, with the canister being mounted directly under the engine similar to the OEM exhaust. I like how the muffler tip ends just below the swingarm, that way you can still see the beautiful polished swingarm on the SP model, whereas some other exhausts will cover the swingarm with the muffler. Fit and finish is typical Leo Vince!
Sound: We do not have the quiet insert installed in the muffler on ours, and it sounds great, without being excessively loud. These CP3 engines always sound great, and this Leo Vince does not disappoint... it totally transforms the bike and definitely adds some theater to the whole riding experience. A quiet insert is included if you want to make the exhaust slightly quieter.
Compared to the Akrapovic exhaust we had installed previously, this system is quieter with not quite as deep of an exhaust note. I really liked the Akrapovic, but it was borderline too loud (for my personal tastes), and the Leo Vince being slightly quieter, is a big plus for me. We're going to try the Yoshimura system on our bike next, but I think I might end up coming back to this Leo Vince, I really like it that much.
Performance: When installing a full exhaust like this on the MT-09, we definitely recommend an ECU re-flash. In addition to the exhaust, we also have a Sprint P08 filter installed. We rode the bike a little bit with the new exhaust and filter prior to having the ECU flashed, and you could just tell the mapping wasn't quite right, plus we got a pretty loud bang on upshifts with the quickshifter on certain gear changes. Just before installing this exhaust, we had to drop the bike off at the dealer for the TPS recall, which required them to reflash the ECU. So now that our ECU was back to stock, it was a good time to send it out to vcyclenut again, for one of the flashes he has specifically for this exhaust. All I can say is that his ECU flash totally changes the character of the bike. It runs so much better, and you definitely notice an improvement in 2nd gear, which seemed excessively restricted on our bike. And no more odd pops and bangs when shifting or on deceleration.
