    So the bike had its first MOT today, anyway our bike tester at work wasn't to happy with the noise coming from my RaceFit.

    So we made baffle just for MOT days out of an old socket, Well it kept him happy

    How much does one of those set you back? the exhaust that is, not the socket baffle :p

    That's okay man. Cheers for the reply, I wasn't huffing I swear ;) That's pretty cheap compared to the likes of an Akropovic. Is there much involved in fitting one?

    Very Very easy, worst bit for me was disconnecting the cable from the servo motor.

    Top tip !!

    mark it with a bit of tip-ex first so you know exactly where to turn it back to after you have disconnected the cable to the servo motor then just a few bolts to remove 15-20 min job max

    Cool :D My mechanical skills are minimal :rolleyes: Does it run fine after fitting or do you need to get the bike set up/ mapped etc?

    Revs fluctuate slightly until it's fully warmed up, but doesn't cause any running problems

    It certainly feels much sharper on acceleration especially from the lower Rev range , I guess the proper way to do it would be pc5 + mapped to suit however mine is box standard and it's working well
