How to distinguish “Real” and “Fake” Yoshimura products

“Yoshimura” products have been produced and sold for over 60 years. Yoshimura is full of specialists and researchers in the motorcycle exhaust industry. Yoshimura’s products use only the highest quality parts with the most advanced technology, which are manufactured by “Yoshimura Japan” and its brother companies “Yoshimura R&D of America” and “Yoshimura Asia”.

4 differences between “REAL” and “FAKE” Yoshimura products

REAL YOSHIMURA PRODUCTS

1 – SPECIAL RIVETS NUTS
Genuine exhaust uses specially rivet nuts which made of stainless steel, light weight and have pitted surface

2- LOGO
The Yoshimura brand name is clearly embossed on a beautifully designed metal plate

3- BATCH CODE
The micro batch code will be engraved on the face of the exhaust by laser shot. This code proves this is a genuine product with detailed information from the Yoshimura factory

4- FINISHED WELDING
Professional welds, neat and smooth, and good bonding.

FAKE YOSHIMURA PRODUCTS

4 points to distinguish fake Yoshimura products

1 –  NORMAL RIVETS NUTS
Fake products use normal flat round rivets.

2-  LOGO
Fake products’s logo has unclear characters, not embossed on a flat metal plate.

3-  NO BATCH CODE
Yoshimura uses a special laser to engrave this batch code. Fake products cannot be reproduced exactly, and the digit codes will only match to Yoshimura data

4-  UNFINISHED WELDING 
The weld looks rough and sketchy due to the lack of finest welding skills.
