    Hi all,
    Finally got round to removing the baffle on my akrapovic exhaust on my 2016 blade. lovely noise but not too loud i must say but I am worried about the old back pressure loss that some report.. causing a lean burn. It appears to run absolutely fine, covered around 60 miles on it today at varying speeds and no loss of power.
    Who else has the same exhaust with the baffle removed? any problems or anything I should be aware of?

    Sorry mate can't comment on removal as if not had mine delivered yet. I'll be ordering a full system Monday and my local Honda dealer has agreed to fit it for me and also agreed to remove the baffle. He didn't mention any issues that may arise as a result.

    nice one mate.

    I will admit im a bit on the fence about it and sick reading posts irrelevant to the blade trying to find information but as above, i cannot fault how it runs. fingers crossed lol

    I have a racefit black which has no back pressure as standard, It did tend to hunt at tickover and had a bit of a flat spot low down.I have fitted a bit of a baffle to give slight back pressure and made an electronics box with thermistors to put more fuel in. this has stopped the hunting and now runs a lot better
