Better than standard then :)
Going to be that, chopped down can, cut out air filter and 10mm tank raise.

Going to go for 17.5 pilots, 152.5 mains and 0.04" worth of shims, hows that sound for a starting point?

Edit: hang on a minute 85bhp is a bit optimistic isn't it? or has this bike been bored out or something?

Thats not a standard engine, but zadar never said it was!!! 85bhp takes a few mods and money, or a dodgy dyno runner! I have seen results on a standard engine, M4 and Leo Vince were close in performance characteristics, followed by Akrapovic and with a Micron lagging a bit.

it is not stock engine but gives you idea between this 3 pipes.micron has smallest diameter of headers.

Fair enough, so long as its an improvement over stock, for £60 can't really complain

I have a full Micron system on my curvy, looks good not too loud until you give it a handfull

Re: Micron systems
 
What air filter do you have and what jets are you using?

Ta :)

My bike tailed off at about 9800 with Micron headers, but all fixed with an M4, It seems the different systems really start to make a difference with a tuned motor esp on Flats, Wheras on a std motor there isn't a huge difference between systems

zadar 29-11-07 03:41 AM

Re: Micron systems
 
biggest difference I noticed when riding.Micron was really soft coming out of corners compared to M4 or Leo.
Leo just works everywhere.

Standard filter, tank raised slightly and one notch richer on needle.

Zombie-thread...

Had this fitted for a while now, runs alright but is very soft in the midrange. Didn't know how soft until I had a go on a stock one the other day. It's likely a practically empty stubby can doesn't help either. With so little packing in the can it really takes off when it hits about 6k.

Time for something else methinks...

Perhaps bump the compression up a bit. Perhaps pod filters.

dizzyblonde 25-01-09 04:50 PM

Re: Micron systems
 
perhaps putting your standard system back on with the can and put all the jetting back to basics. Then, decide where to go from there. Go from the ground up again instead of trying to make sense of everything that has been swapped and changed???

Don;t know plop I know, but it seems to make more sense to me to start again, than making sense of the muddle of stuff you've changed over the months

Where's the fun in that? :-P

dizzyblonde 25-01-09 04:59 PM

Re: Micron systems
 
errr better than too many obstacles? And getting the result you want much quicker and efficiently than going round the houses?

yorkie_chris 25-01-09 05:06 PM

Re: Micron systems
 
Already got BMC filter, which I am probably keeping. Would not run at all with stock jets. Jetting will probably be the same with a different system anyway. I dunno. Be right.

Find another budget UK exhaust, same diameter inlet, you can borrow for a ride and see how that feels.

Got a Micron system on mine, with a standard BMC filter on it. But it needs setting up properly. But I'm happy with it, its better than stock, just for weight loss alone.

Will have some brand new Micron headers going on Evilbay this week, plus a low level link pipe.

Re: Micron systems
 
what you want is that super flowing stanard exhaust off mine :) ill swap ya for no cost i you like :)
