How much ?
Ive just ordered the Akra
Gonna need a re-map as well, should make a huge difference though.
That's gonna sound soooo nice
From what I can see, a catalytic convertor is an option on the full Akrapovič system on the MT09. If you're going the de-cat route, then I suspect that a remap will be desirable at the very least, in order to get the best out of the engine. On the other hand, if might be fairly essential to stop the bike running too lean and burning out exhaust valves. Only a dyno run to check the AFR's will tell.
On the road legal version , the cat is just an insert into the silencer .
If you run with the cat' removed it's very likely to run too lean at large throttle openings.
I take it a power commander with the correct map would solve the problem ?
Yes but at over £300 just for the PCV http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products...r-V-suitable-for-Yamaha-MT-09-Tracer-ABS-2015 + dyno time to set it up you might want to consider a trip to see Geoff at Hilltop.
I was told by Yamaha dealer that CAT is necessary to keep Warranty on bike.
when I was asking for pricing dealer told me that I need to include CAT as well. It is listed on accessories page on their website now.
even Akra says:
"EC type-approval is valid only when optional catalytic converter is installed."
