Looking for a bit of advice really... I've noticed a couple of times after finally doing some long motorway runs how much my blade vibrates.. Now even though Sue might like it I don't but I don't have anything else to gauge it by as I'm pretty sure it's the BOSS can I have without a PC. Sometimes it's hunting on tickover too, the person I got the bike from said he wished he looked at other cans due to it feeling a bit rough but isn't that expected when coming from Stock? It goes ok but like I said I have nothing to go by nor anything to compare it too, I can't remember how the R1 with Yoshis was as opposed to having aftermarket from stock compares I'm considering putting the standard can back on to gauge but I love the sound of the aftermarket can. I'm not of an engineering mind nor do I have spare cash for anything either.. What do you think? --- - Aka: Carl
I have the Yoshi r77 on mine and the fueling feels out (say not exact) but i kinda like it because it feels (i Think) like a proper race bike sounds and feels.
The majority of aftermarket cans will alter the fueling, mostly they run rich, you'll either need to get a power commander or go back to stock exhaust mate
I have a BOS can on my 05 blade it seems to run spot on and I don't have pc fitted, it flies, I noticed straight after fitting that the engine felt stronger in the mid range, not much difference elsewhere but sounds better
Like i said it may be me but i havent got anything to go by...Its not that much of a problem but i wouldnt mind finding out just how 'smooth' they were from factory.. May have to book a test ride lol
Jamz It's probably the bike rather than the can. I also find that my blade suffers from vibration, a characteristic of the bike. My right wrist has been suffering recently, initially thought it was due to motocrossing and a motocross accident I had 2 months ago. However when Im motocrossing my wrist doest hurt. However when I ride the blade my wrist seems to hurt. May be caused by wheeling the bike on a regular basis!!! I don't think that fitting the original exhaust will cure the vibration problem!!! Cheers Rich
Cheers mate...I like the sound too much to I'd like to eventually get something else on it with a PC but its just the lack of funds right now.. Thanks for the replys lads
