Akrapovic dB killer ??

[King55]

Hi All

Just fitted my 2010 GS with a full Akrapovic system, fuelings a tad out and Hilltop will sort that out for me, but whats the vote on the dB killer

In or out ??. Had a small 5 mile blast with it out and yes its noisier than standard and certainly does seem to make thing a lot frantic from 5k onwards.

Just thought id ask the members with a can on whats the view.

Mine is a bit to noisey for me when its out. Its OK around town on a short journey, but if a on a long run it gets on my nerves. Might be the frequency that bothers me.

+1.

I used to fit the baffle, but not bother with the retaining screw to make it easy to fit / remove at will.

But occasionally the air pressure will make it pop out ! I had to retrace my steps once to find it.

Its fun around town / short journey with the baffle out. But on a motorway trawl its a pain in the ears..even with ear plugs in.

In and out for me... I get fed up with the bike being too quiet; take the baffle out, then after a while I'm fed up with it being too noisy, especially on the motorway, and put it back in.

But at least one gets to choose.

I've got a perfectly clean baffle here if anyone needs it.

never been used

Out gets my vote, only goes back in for the MOT

In on, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Out on, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Or was it the other way around? It's so confusing.... and a lot frantic (whatever that means)

Well Guys

Thanks for that, think i might go with the in/out option, depending on my mood or if her indoor's is on the back.
If in/out option doesn't mess the fueling up will stick with that method.

Thanks for decisive decisions
