    So i fitted an new Akropovic today and was so surprised at how much better it sounds, this video really doesn't do it justice as it sounds so much better i real life. I took her for a quick spin and it seemed to pull better in the low rev range, but im not sure if im imagining that. She idles at around 12500.....

    List of things left to do: Buy and fit HM Quickshifter, Tracker and then some sticky as fook tyres......:D

    Happy days...

    Question is, have i imagined pulling quicker at the low rev range or is it possible. Do people put these slip-ons on because they add to the bikes performance beside the weight loss???

    that's a fairly high idle mate, I would get it checked if it idles at 12500. before you know it you blow the thing up ;-)

    cut the last 10/15 secs of the youtube video mate ;)
