Default Re: 33 BHP With A Sports Exhaust

I put a fuel exhaust on my bike when it was 33 bhp. It felt the same, maybe ironed out a little fueling mis-hap at about 4000 rpm. Was lovely and loud compared to standard though

and after all, that what counts

Not sure about that one
If anything they always run slightly on the rich side. Running lean from factory wouldn't be a good idea. Better to run a slightly rich engine than a lean one.

we fitted a carbon can to my sons curvy after it had been restricted, it didnt go any faster but did it sound good.in all fairness, i was the original owner of it when it wasnt restricted and apart from a decrease in acceleration ,it eventually reached a fair top speed.

I felt no increase in performance when fitted ma new street extreme. (Just like the might org had said ( )

One question i do have though....yeah it sounds great....but cant help thinking it would sound even better without the baffle. Its simple enough to remove, but what would happen if i were to get pulled over without it in?
Cheers
Dan

Generally cops dont know bikes, if you get pulled chances are its cos you were being a **** anyway, just be civil, all the "E" markings are there to show its road legal, and if you have to leave before they do just dont tear it away from them :P

simple

Anyone know anybody with an e-mark stamp or someone who can etch an e-mark into a piece of steel?

Wouldn't bother. Police aren't that stupid. If you have a loud can, and its got some dodgy stamp, that shouldn't be there, be prepared for a heftier kick up the ar$e than the original you were going to get.

One of mine is stamped officially but is very loud without baffle(which happens to be in the loft) the other I am prepared to take it on the chin for, and won't polish the words out or stamp with something worse.

So if a copper pulled you over and noticed your baffle was missing, whats he/she likely to do?

Fixed penalty ticket or a vrec (rectification notice) would be issued to you. Have a look in bikes talkes and issues section. Loads and loads about what Police do with race cans and other things like number plates etc
