Will a Yoshimura R12 slip on exhaust fit RE

[John Arroz]

I have a new Vstrom 800 RE (aka touring) model with about 400 miles on the engine. Thinking of getting a Yoshimura R12 slip on pipe but I’m not sure if it will fit with Suzuki oem aluminum panniers installed. Yoshimura makes this model for the DE version but I’m not sure if it will fit on the RE model.

Has anyone else tried?

Thanks and I’m new to forums so I’m learning how they work!

Hi John, that's a relatively new model, so it's not likely that many on this forum will own one, let alone replace the can with a Yoshi.

Welcome to the forum though, stick around, it's a friendly place.

Hi and SD said.

 

you could do two things?

ask Yoshimura/ uk distribution if it will?or look at Yoshimuras own website, do they have the same code as the other one listed? If not then no.

 

 

now there is a difference between the plastic and alu pans, fittings how and where they sit with the bike and more importantly the exhaust. So the plastic ones are nestled very closely and around the exhaust while the Alus are higher up, is this picture from the re or the de? I don’t know 100% but I put in as the re but thats no way to be sure as I was looking at parts lists.

 

Now the other thing to note is the suspension spec is different between the re about 170mm and de about 220mm, so the re is is lower so the seat and the pans will be lower down closer to the exhaust, now depending on how much different the yoshi and std is will determine how much or if you can get away with it.

Good points all. I’ll do some measurements once I get the side cases and see if it’s a go.
