Exhaust Power Regulator
As an entry level race machine, the Cobra P3
comes with an optional Exhaust Power Regulator
(EPR) (figure 9b) that when installed, between the
exhaust pipe and cylinder flange, will cut the peak
rear wheel power by ½. As your rider’s skills
progress, the EPR can be opened up to the etched
line (18mm diameter drill) to deliver ¾ power or
removed it completely for full race power.
