Curvy Exhaust change, bike runs differently.

Morning all

I recently changed my SV exhaust over from a Motad Venom Race can to a stock can because the race can was too loud although it was road legal.

I have a few questions:

1. The bike feels much more responsive and accelerate quicker, why?
2. Engine braking isn;t as vicious, doesn't attempt to throw me over the front anymore, why?
3. Tank range has gone up by 20-30 miles per tank, why?

Any suggestions greatly received.

The engine is "tuned" to the standard exhaust, so will run better.
I noticed that mine was far more "lumpy" with a race can fitted

The fecker(sorry if it was you) that changed it first time around didn't get dyno time on it to have it set up for the new exhaust. Even changing from stock airfilter to a sport/racing one you should get dyno time not only if your after performance gains, but also to have it run smoother.

No it wasn't me, I got it with a K&N and a beaten up old Carbon Can Co can but i just swapped it over to another race can and have now gone back to stock.

Its so much smoother with the stock exhaust.

I use the stock aswell, 102db is the limit on bikes at tracks here in Norway, my Akra Titanium full race system is a bit to loud some might say.
