End can & MPG - SV650.org

23-03-05, 07:51 AM

Hi All,

Will changing the can from the Standard Suzi one to a "Road Legal" end can make much differecne to the MPG?

Or does it depend on wether you're tw@ing around on it, or just commuting?

Would I need to change the air filter also, and other stuff.

Is it worth it - if I'm just commuting?

Cheers

Safety First!!! Get it changed mate, you wont look back! I cant believe the difference it has made to commuting to work, so many more people move out of the way now when I'm filtering. Get it changed, you know it makes sense.

Oh yeah, I havent seen my MPG change

Since changing to my Akra system and rene airkit my fuel consumption has improved (marginally). Really its all down to how you ride.

Never notice things like MPG but as PoRk ChOp says, it really does make a difference to safety. People get plenty of warning that you're about to pass and move out of the way or, sometimes, move into your path. Better then than when you're half way along the car (as happened in my first off

).

I think mine did give a slight improvement in MPG

But the improvement in sound was awesome, go for it, its definately worth it

More power ridden conservatively means better MPG, generally... I doubt you'll see a huge difference with just a slipon though.
