Exhaust for Honda CBR650R E-Clutch model 2024+ voids warranty??
Hi all,
I recently bought a Honda CBR650R E-Clutch from 2026, and the only option I have for an aftermarket exhaust which needs to be EC/ECE approved Euro 5+, and with 2 Lambda sensors is the Racing Line series from Akrapovic. The problem with that exhaust is that it doesn't really make the bike sounds that much better than the factory exhaust, and it cost an equivalent to $2600 USD / €2250 Euro. (Other exhausts cost as low as $1600 / €1250)
I have found other exhaust that sounds much better, which fits the bike, has all the homologations in order and with 2 lambda sensors as well. But I have written to Honda, asking if fitting any of these exhaust will void the warranty - which they have told me it will, which I find surprising.
I have attached a picture of the said Akrapovic exhaust which my dealer has recommended to me, which is also the only exhaust that they have heard of "fits" the bike. I know that you can pull out the dB killer which might make the bike sound that much better, but it still annoys me that other exhaust for the bike sounds much better even with the dB killer installed correctly.
The other attached picture is of one of the other exhaust I have found that fits the bike which I really like the sound of.
Would you fit the bike with an exhaust even it it voids warranty? Or keep it stuck until 2031 when the factory warranty runs out.
I'd like to know what you guys have done to yours 😄
I am located in Denmark if that makes it easier to provide an answer to my question.
Kind regards, Frederik from Denmark
